Kuwohi Visitor Center

Use this seasonal high-country center for information before the steep walk to Kuwohi Observation Tower. Road and weather conditions govern access.

Kuwohi Visitor Center

Why go

Kuwohi Visitor Center sits near the end of Kuwohi Road, beside the trailhead for the summit observation tower. It is useful for checking the high-country setting before the steep paved climb. The center is seasonal, and snow, ice or severe weather can close the access road even during its scheduled season.

What to look for

  • The seasonal high-country center sits beside the steep paved trail to Kuwohi Observation Tower.
  • Road and weather conditions can change access.

Useful to know

  • Check current visitor center hours before traveling.
  • Check Kuwohi Road conditions as well; weather can interrupt access to the center.
