If sightseeing times limited, take the scenic Crater Rim Drive, an 11-mile road around Mauna Loa''s summit.
Once you set out around the unplowed, 33-mile Rim Drive, there are no shelters and no shortcuts back.
Although you probably don’t want to get too close to the steamy summits, the 11-mile-loop Crater Rim Drive provides a dramatic overview; look for the Thurston Lava Tube (a massive tube formed by a violent lava surge); Kilauea Iki Trail (a popular melt-in-your-shoes hike that passes by steaming vents and crosses a crater that last erupted in 1959); and the Halemaumau Crater Overlook (where you can peek into the bubbling lava-filled home of Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess).
