Not all in our rich history needed a road to visit the summit region. Say's here that the royal family use to frequent the Lake Waiau with queen Emma being the last in 1881. I imagine tons of trash and garbage from the telescopes has already been buried around the summit region over the years.

A gentleman by the name of Nelson Ho brought up the piles of trash left by telescopes on Mauna Kea to light sometime in the 90's.
