Unfortunately, the proximity and growth of the central Maui area creates a light dome to the west. Nearby Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii is better, but of course, that is generally considered THE top site in the world. Come prepared for harsh summit conditions. Persons with heart or respiratory problems and pregnant women should check with their doctor before coming to the Park, given the reduced oxygen at high elevation. The summit is at 10,023 feet above sea level.
Late arrivals can still get in if they know the combination for that day.
Contact Hawaiian Astronomical Society for information. Drive past Schofield, stay on the main road, don't turn or exit, then the road narrows from 2 to 1 lanes, and follow the signs to Waialua. The road winds through several miles of pineapple fields, then descends to the North shore. At the strange traffic circle at Waialua, bear left and pass under the bridge. Drive out of town on this long, straight road, a few miles until you reach Dillingham Airfield on the left.
