    Tips

    October 25, 2023

    The Mauna Loa Lookout and Trailhead is where the Mauna Loa Road ends. Mauna Loa Lookout is at 6,662 feet above sea level, and from here visitors can see the Kīlauea volcano, old lava flows, and on a clear day even the ocean. The area is subalpine woodland, and by biking here, cyclists will pass Koa, Māmane and ‘ōhi‘a trees. Bird spotting is popular here, and there are sometimes sightings of the ‘i‘iwi. The shade shelter here was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1937 and still stands strong today.
