Description

Just west of Volcano Village, the Mauna Loa Scenic Strip road will take you up to an elevation of more than 6,500 feet over 10 miles. At the end of the road, the Mauna Loa Trail begins an 18-mile ascent to the summit of the volcano—but don’t worry, you’ll only need to hike a couple of miles to get a feel for the majestic mountainous terrain.
