  From the Institute for Astronomy website,”Please keep in mind that, in spite of it’s beauty, Mauna Kea does present hazards to those who are not careful. Do not slide long slopes on equipment that has no directional control. Gravity does not take you in the direction you want to go. Drivers should have their headlights on and drive slowly to avoid other vehicles and pedestrians. Vehicles going downhill are subject to brake failure. Drive slowly and in low gear to protect the brakes.”

  For current road conditions, please call (808) 935 – 6268.икони
