Hawaii – Summit Stop

Summit viewpoint stop at the start of the Hawaii trip.

Hawaii – Summit Stop

A summit-area stop on the Big Island at the beginning of the trip. Didn’t push beyond the standard viewing areas due to delays and crowds at the visitor center. Still offered clean high-altitude views.

Short, simple session before continuing the week.

Quick Info

  • Type: Summit viewpoint stop
  • Location: Big Island
