Why - GET INVOLVED WITH APEXCHALLENGE 2019
Less Crowded than National Parks
A compelling Bucket List item
Other things to see in the Vicinity - the Big Island is totally awesome with many things to do, rent a car and do them
Leave the HP better than it was found
For some people:
APEX ACHIEVEMENTS ARE ARDUOUS ADVENTURES
These places can be:
FABULOUS FUN FILLED FAMILY FITNESS FINDS
For most people:
SUMMITS ARE SPECIAL SERENE & SERENDIPITOUS SPOTS TO SURVEY SURROUNDINGS
How - no specialized gear required.
Comments: Two things - you are going from sea level to over 13,800 feet so the hike to the true HP is NOT trivial; for a real adventure check out and hike to the Green Sand Beach in the SW corner of the Big Island
