Mauna Kea is the world's tallest mountain, one of two extinct volcanoes located on The Big Island of Hawaii. Mauna kea means "white mountain" in the Hawaiian language, a reference to its summit being regularly covered by snow in winter. The peak of Mauna Kea is 13,803 feet (4,207 m) above mean sea level but 33,476 feet (10,203 m) above its base on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. It is the world's tallest mountain by this measure, taller than Mount Everest, which is the highest mountain above sea level. Pu'u Wekiu, traditionally known as Pu'u o Kukahau'ula, is the highest of the numerous cinder cones on the summit plateau. It is also the highest point in the state.

The summit of the mountain is one of the clearest and driest spots on Earth and is superb for viewing the planets and stars, and its' unique geography and location makes it the world's premier location for observatories. Mauna Kea can be reached via the Saddle Road.

Nearby Attractions: At the base of the mountain, along the sunny Kohala Coast lies the Mauna Kea resort area, which contains two of the world's most picturesque beaches. Silky white sands and turquoise waters, along with several fine restaurants, oceanside tennis, spa facilities and 36 holes of championship golf help make Mauna Kea one of the finest resort areas in Hawaii. Condi Nast Traveler has called Mauna Kea and the Hapuna, "two of the best golf courses in the world." With rolling fairways set against dramatic shoreline and superb facilities, the Mauna Kea Golf Course remains the standard by which all other island courses are judged. Other recreational activities along Kohala's "Sun Coast" include fishing, swimming, windsurfing, horseback riding, hiking and whale watching. The Mauna Kea beaches are also just minutes to the historic villages of The Big Island's "Upcountry".
