Itinerary description
|
The track is indicated just as uphill. The return is done the same way.
We leave Waikoloa because here are some places to buy our picnic.
The intention is to go up at 5 in the afternoon to see the sunset at 7.
The road has a good asphalted road, but rises from 0 to 4205 m. and the top part is a lot of climb and ground, so you should use a 4x4 vehicle to reach the Observatories where you can park.
This mountain, if we count the meters that are submerged in the ocean, is the highest in the world.
When we were there, the real temperature was 0ºC although the sensation temperature was -6.6ºC, so it was necessary to go warm. It is also necessary to foresee heightened illness.
4000 m. We will find the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. It has 13 giant observatories used by astronomers around the world. It is the largest observatory center in the world and also has the largest telescopes in the world.
Stop at Onizuka Center for International Astronomy where you will see details of the area. They also have telescopes and make many explanations of stars and astronomy.
