Ascent of Mauna Kea on 2018-12-03Others in Party: | Terri Bonee ----Only Party on Mountain | Date: | Monday, December 3, 2018 | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Car | Peak: | Mauna Kea | Location: | USA-Hawaii | Elevation: | 13796 ft / 4205 m | Ascent Trip Report
Drove "Mana Rd" (it's a 4x4 road, but not too bad), from Waimea up to the Visitor center (43 miles / 2.5 hrs). Arrived at the Mauna Kea visitor center around 12:30pm. The road to the summit is labeled "4x4 only", but the road is not bad at all. There is no one checking, it is just signed. I had a 4x4 Jeep, so I drove right up to the telescopes on the summit. From 1:00 to 1:45pm, hiked the Mauna Key cinder cone, then Puu Kea and back to the car. The air is thin, and you move slowly and breath hard. The hike is not long, but it's work.
