We explored the town of Kailua-Kona a bit and headed up to see the summit of Mauna Kea - the highest point on the island at 14,000ft with a world class observatory. We didn't get far up the mountain when we were stopped by rangers and emergency vehicles. We ultimately had to turn around as the road was shut down for fatal car accident that flipped over the guard rail. It was quite a to do as we saw 3 ambulances and 2 medical evac helicopters.
We did get to enjoy beautiful clouds and magnificent rainbows along the drive.
We had dinner of classic Hawaiian barbeque.
