Did you know, most tourists won't even realize the TMT is on Mauna Kea? Most tourists arrive in Kona, and some drive the southern route to visit Volcanoes National Park. The TMT will only be visible from 14% of the Big Island in the Waimea to Paauilo area as it will be on the north slope of Mauna Kea, not on the summit.
