Mountain View

Among the communities of Hawaiʻi Island, Mountain View CDP stands out for its rain-fed position on the eastern slopes of Mauna Loa. This small settlement in the Puna District sits along Hawaiʻi Route 11, the road linking Hilo with Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Frequent rainfall supports dense tropical vegetation and small farms, giving the area a distinctly greener character than much of the island’s leeward coast. The national park to the southwest protects the volcanic landscapes of Kīlauea and Mauna Loa, mountains central to Hawaiian traditions and geology alike.
