This
is
a
great
place
to
visit
and
certainly
a
beautiful
part
of
Hawaii--definitely
worth
a
visit!
The
unique
flora
and
fauna
of
the
area
are
interesting
to
learn
about,
and
the
drive
up
to
the
summit
is
beautiful.
If
you're
not
a
morning
person,
or
if
you're
with
a
family
of
kids
you
don't
want
to
drag
out
at
4am,
the
sunset
is
almost
as
beautiful
as
the
sunrise.
More
amazing
than
the
sunset
itself,
though,
is
the
golden
sky
in
the
hour
after
sunset.
Real,
the
mountain
is
beautiful
at
any
hour.
Obviously
the
summit
is
cold,
and
do
not
underestimate
the
wind.
You
may
scoff
at
60
degrees,
but
the
wind
will
cut
you
through
if
you
don't
have
something
to
block
it.
The
only
rather
large
downside
to
the
summit/crater
area
is
that
there
are
very
few
amenities
(although
cell
reception
isn't
bad).
No
food
(no
hot
food,
no
snacks,
no
candy--nothing),
no
gas,
and
only
water/restrooms
at
the
visitor
centers.
For
that
reason,
I'll
give
it
4
stars.
But
still
worth
a
trip
if
you're
in
Maui!
