Mauna Kea: Summit Shrine

At the summit is a shrine covered with various offerings. Folklore describes Mauna Kea as the home of the snow goddess Poli'ahu. Mauna Loa, however, is home to Pele one of the more notorious goddesses in the area. Apparently the two didn't enjoy cordial relations and the saddle upon which saddle road rests is their traditional battle ground.
