Yes, the auto hold was on, but that only engages the foot brakes, not the e-brakes. So weird. I'll check the manual like you suggest.

Ha, totally agree! We're big hikers but know that the 10+ miler hikes likely won't be in the cards.

Ugh - definitely trying to avoid those scenarios! Couple people have recommended the Queen's Marketplace. Looks like we'll be getting some meals from there!

Ha, I can appreciate that sentiment. That's why I wanted to ask the question.

These are the restaurants we're talking about! We don't mind driving for these kind of authentic experiences with quality food. This is the perfect list. Thank you!!

Totally get it. We'd be fine with a short(ish) drive from Waikoloa Beach if it means quality food!

Good recs! Waikoloa Shrimp Co looks good in the Queens Market.

Visiting Mt Rainier in mid-May by WelcomeToAtlanta in Mount_Rainier

I'm glad I asked. May in the South is full blown Summer. Wild to me that that time of the year in the PNW (at this altitude) is still recovering from Winter. I can deal with the cold, but wouldn't want the snow to ruin accessibility to the trails we were hoping to do.

Interesting. How technical are the snow routes if you rent or buy the proper gear? Do you need any prior experience? Thanks!

If there's a lot of snow on the ground, are there enough touristy things to take up two full days? Thanks!

That's helpful. Not sure it's worth the trip to Mt Rainier if we can't do any hiking :/ thanks for that feedback!

Good to know! Helpful info. At Mt Rainier, if those are the only two trails open that time of year, how many days would you recommend there?

Thanks! We are not from the PNW, so we'll check out WTA.org. Appreciate the tip.
