But the mountain top is at altitude. How high is the peak?

On edit: We had to postpone a trip to the summit of Mt. Haleakala (10,023) on Maui one year because there were Winter Storm Warnings and the road was closed. At the time, it was 82F at our condo.

Thank you. I love the Big Island. I took a tour to the observatory. It was really wonderful. I cannot wait to watch your video, it was such an amazing thing to see and now I can see it again. It was hard to breathe up there but I guess that is what they mean by it being breath taking.
