South Kohala Landscape

South Kohala Landscape

This misty landscape across the Big Island’s South Kohala district picturing the island’s two main volcanoes, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, demonstrates Hawaii’s diversity and beauty.

Rising from sea-level only a few miles away, the land makes a steady ascent to the peaks above standing over 13,000 feet in elevation.

The South Kohala district is filled with barren lava fields and softer grass grazing ranges. Its wide-open spaces remind us that the Big Island is in fact, surprisingly big.
