Driving to the top of Mauna Kea Volcano in Hawaii 

this feels like an amazing experience. when it just goes up and up and then when its all cloud and white it feels like you suddenly in heaven. now i wanna go too

The drive up to just the visitor's center at night was probably the most terrifying drive I ever had. But seeing the night sky was so worth it

Good ol Mauna Kea the unforgettable gruesome walk when our unit flew to the Big Island to conduct Military training. Climbing this mountain was our last training we had to do before we went back to Schofield Barracks on Oahu. Felt like eternity but most of us made it. Good memories. B-Co 2-27 3rd BCT 25th I.D. ✌️

That's so cool how you're literally driving through the clouds. On a hot summer day here in the southeast US, I always look up at clouds and wonder what it's like up there, like how high up they are and how cold it is.

Loved seeing you go through the clouds. If only Mount Everest had a driving path like this to get to the top would be so cool.

I absolutely love the sound track! And your video. Excellent job!

going tomorrow ! wanted to dive up so thanks for the video

Such Awesome Views!! Thanks for sharing the full drive!

It's pretty wild watching the clouds crash into the hillside. Where the heavens meet the earth

I remember my parents took me here as a child. I grew up on the Island of oahu so when I came here, it was the first time I ever saw snow on the ground and felt the cold. I also had to get an emergency oxygen mask because it’s so high up that some people can’t breathe.

Mauna Kea takes the title as the tallest mountain from base to summit since most of it is underwater, making it nearly one mile taller than Mt Everest.

Awesome. We drove up to the visitor center when we were there and they had a sign there that said you couldn't drive to the top without a 4WD and that rental car companies would charge you something like 2,000 dollars to come tow you out. There was no way I was going to risk that. Looking back I wish we had just done a tour. It was still very cool at the visitors center. The mountain does look really enormous coming from the ocean to almost 14,000 feet. It really slopes gradually too.

Why is this video so less viewed... It's just AMAZING!!!!!

This looks totally safe. I don't understand why everyone makes a huge fuss over this drive?

I drove up once and saw a 50 rainbows.... Coolest drive ever

Damn this is unbelievable

What is the temp at that altitude? I drove up to pikes peak in Colorado and the temp was 85 F at the base and 30F at the summit and snowing.

Those hills look kinda like the mountains on the Moon.

What's annoying is that I saw two vehicles(at least) that were not 4X4. A Nissan Rogue and a sedan were both seen on the descent from the summit. I saw nothing on this road that makes you really need a 4X4, unless you have no clue what you're doing. The Mt Washington Auto Road has much narrower actual road, is dirt and gravel most of the way up and is even steeper in sections. Yet, they make it a destination that hundreds, if not thousands, utilize in a day. What's really annoying me the most is that to rent ANYTHING that is acceptable to take to the top is nearly impossible. And if you want to take any of the myriads of tours, be willing to shell out over $200/person. So it's either pay $800 vs $350 for 4X4 rental to sedan, or pay the same for a tour. Or hike to the top. Which I don't think I'm ready to do. Honestly, just rent a car and learn to use Low gear and modulate your brakes. This is not some death dealing drive...

Did you experience any shortness of breath while going up those mountains

Trying to find a Mauna Kea video that doesn't have terrible background music. So far they all do.

Why are you driving so fast?

Must have been a great experience? Wow. I wanna visit this:(

I do not understand why this drive should not be possible with a standard rental car. We have been up to Pikes Peak Summit also, without having any problem. Is this road different?

Great movie. Liked and subbed :)

I got as far as visitors center and then felt really drunk like I could not walk a straight line. Low oxygen maybe idk

Interesting that they have left part of the road up there unpaved.

Driving in the sky i feel so scary

I feel walk at the Sky

Which dash cam did you use? I’m looking for a travel camera to record future drives.

Is there a way to hire a driver just from the Visitor's Center to the summit? I don't want or need to pay for a full day driver to pick us up at the hotel. How much would it cost just from the Visitor's Center to the top?

Foarte fain ai filmat. Si eu merg curand si vreau sa vizitez observatorul. Ce masina conduci in video?

I thought those were gunshots in the sign @0:20

Where to take a 4wd rental to drive upto Mauna kea summit? Help would really appreciate. When reaching out to rental companies they were saying none of the rentals are allowed to summit. Is it true? Can we still take a rental car?

Que increíble bro

Do you know a company in Hilo to rent 4x4 ? Thanks

what is the pure travel time from the visitor center to the top? Is planned for September 2021

How long is the drive up?

Try doing this in Everest please....

Riding my KTM there today

It's not drive time the summit. It's drive to the observatory

Do you need a 4x4 or can you take a regular car?

i dont see a crater please explain

Mai demult faceai videoclipuri pe autostrazile noastre , doar acum te-ai dus in America?

are you driving Jeep?

Bună Bogdymol, demult numai postezi un video. E totul în regulă?

What’s it like for a cloud to move through you? Is it similar to fog?

How many stars at night you see there

Others have asked but how long did it take from Visitor Center to the top?

Run at .5 speed for a more normal experience... J.C.

I drove up in a rental 4X4 and later found out I wasn't allowed. It seems improvements were made since my last visit some 15 years ago. I remember going up was easy, coming down was a white knuckle ride.

Faster, faster

What the song

those pictures look so liminal

Wow

Can someone inexperienced with hills drive to the summit? I’m a city girl from Chicago lol and the land is as flat as it gets

Fkn beautiful

thats scary

how far can you go without a 4X4?

Wow they really did ram a goddam telescope right into the summit of Mauna Kea - Native's most scared moutain :v

this was on my pants

My hand is on the E Brake the whole time coming down

Mauna Kea is not a volcano, bro.

That's the bi ggest volcano

Mauna kea the tallest mountain in the world
