BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS

At 4,207 meters above sea level, the Mauna Kea summit is the highest point in Hawaii. Visitors from across the globe drive up the mountain's winding road to witness the night sky open up above them — and the view does not disappoint. As is evident from @bejamin's photo, the sheer radiance of the galaxies can't help but leave one in awe on a clear day. "One of the coolest things about photography is that it puts you in a mental state of constantly searching for beauty. To see the world, the universe, and each other in the best light seems like a pretty worthy goal." Travel tip: The Mauna Kea visitor information station at 2,800 meters is a perfect rest stop for families with young children. After a bit of stargazing, head inside for some hot cocoa as evenings on the mountain can be pretty chilly. (
