A slippery gravel road leads up to the very top section of the mountain, where research organizations from around the world have built observatories.

Visitors are asked to leave the summit by shortly after sunset in order to reduce light pollution from headlights in the area. Mauna Kea summit area, showing observatories, Big Island of Hawaii
