Truly spectacular. Mauna Kea is definitely on our list for our first trip to the Big Island a few years from now.
Hi Kris – As much as you and your wife enjoy stargazing in Kaanapali, I think you’d love going to Mauna Kea. The landscape up there is unlike anywhere I’ve ever seen.
Wow! – This is great stuff! You should visit more often. 😉
