And if you ever get the chance visit at sunset, the stars are insane! And the visitor center has smaller telescopes set up. But wear warm clothes as at over 9000 feet there can even be snow. No wonder we Canadians feel so at home here, we spend most winters on the big island, but probably not this one😫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennybear Posted October 13, 2020 Author #1312 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) @Copper10-8do you mean Haleakala? It’s on Maui, And a lot of people visit for sunrise. I am more a sunset type😄. I think you need to take your DW to the Big island, too. Highly recommend! Edited October 13, 2020 by bennybear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my volcanoes mixed up 😬 Been to all of them plus Niihau by helo and Molokai by schooner. Kauai is still our fav. I worked p/t for America West AL at LAX as a ramper for about six years with full flt benefits. Those were the days; a weekend to one of the islands as a non-rev in 1st class on a Delta L1011 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted October 13, 2020 #1318 Share Posted October 13, 2020 We were on Haleakala on Maui and could see across to Mauna Kea (on left) and Mauna Loa (on right), both on the Big Island Yes, we were above the clouds! We drove up to Haleakala one day and Mauna Kea the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybear Posted October 13, 2020 Author #1319 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Mauna Kea is so big you can see it from both sides of the island. You can also see Haleakala most days from the big island. So amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
