Hawaii is known as the Big Island. Each island is considered to be a 'county', so the Big Island, or Hawaii, is a county, as is Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. Hawaii claims the second largest in population estimated at about 158,000 plus residents. The Kona side of the island is rather dry and has an average of 72 degrees in the winter months and around 82 degrees in the summer. The east side, known by locals as the Hilo side, has more rain and tends to be cooler and much greener because of its extra rainfall.
The Big Island offers dramatic scenery along the lush and beautiful Hilo coastline. Hawaii is an explorers dream with two active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa and three dormant volcanoes, Kohala, Manuna Kea and Hualalai, for the geologist enthusiasts. Hawaiian legend tell tales of Pele, the goddess of the volcano Kilauea, giving artists, dreamers and writers a distinct world of enchantment. Many hula and Hawaiian chanting often suggest Pele in their expressive messages.
Amazingly, Hilo side also offers snow skiing on Mauna Kea because of its snow capped mountains! They snow ski on the Big Island, not just surf. While there are no ski lifts, locals and visitors alike do snow ski at different times of the year.
Mauna Kea is actually the tallest mountain in the world, even taller than Mt. Everest! Measuring from the ocean floor to its highest peak, Mauna Kea is 93 miles (150 km) across and has a land area of 4,028.0 square miles (10,432.5 km) representing 62% of the total land area of the Hawaiian Islands. Mauna Kea has some of the best ground-based astronomical observatories as well. Hawaii is an star gazers dream indeed.
Other attractions to the Big Island on Hilo side include, the University of Hawaii at Hilo, Hawaii Community College, the Merrie Monarch Festival, which is a week-long celebration of ancient and modern hula. It is served by Hilo International Airport.
So there it is, Hawaii, land of enchantment, dreams and legends of mermaids, sailors and sea captains and perhaps yours as well.
