Notes:
Mokuaweoweo is the summit crater (caldera) of Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano formed by the Hawaii hotspot, located on the Island of Hawaii. Although a trail was developed in ancient times, it proved a difficult goal for the first outsiders who underestimated the difficulty of the journey. An American visit in 1840 turned into a trip of almost a month. Historically very active, Mokuaweoweo has been quiet since 1984.

The name of the summit crater comes from moku a weo weo in the Hawaiian language meaning roughly \"burning red area\". Another potential meaning is moku \'āweoweo after the Hawaiian red big-eyed fish, Priacanthus meeki. The main oval depression is about 3 miles (4,800 m) long and 1.5 miles (2,400 m) wide. A smaller crater called \"south pit\" located to the south, with summit elevation 13,249 feet (4,038 m) and floor 13,040 feet (3,970 m), has the Hawaiian name Pohakuohanalei. Southwest of the summit caldera are two small pit craters, Lua Hou (New Pit) and Lua Hohonu (Deep Pit).

The earliest visitor was John Ledyard, who led a team to attempt an ascent on the third voyage of Captain James Cook in January 1779. They struggled to go directly up from Kealakekua Bay, but turned back after an estimated 24 miles, thinking they had about 11 miles more to go. The summit was actually only a total of 20 miles from the coast.

Mokuaweoweo erupted in 1849, 1851, and 1863, followed by a nearly continuous active period from 1870 to 1876. The use of pack mules on the Ainapo Trail starting in 1870 made the trip much easier. Professor W. T. Brightman recorded observations of the summit in 1864 and 1880. A series of short eruptions filled the time from 1880 to 1914. In 1916 Mokuaweoweo was included in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and a new trail was built directly from park headquarters at Kīlauea, an even more direct route than the one taken by Wilkes.
