As you can see, most of Hawaii resides at over 2,000 feet above sea level. In fact the mean elevation of Hawai&#096i is 3,030 feet above sea level. It ranks tenth among the 50 states. Of course, the lowest points in Hawai`i are sea level at the Pacific Ocean. The highest point in the state is located in Hawai`i County on the island of Hawai`i, the big island. Mauna Kea rises 13,796 feet above sea level in the northeastern part of the island, about 99 miles west of Hilo. It's surrounded by Mauna Kea Forest Reserve. [ Topographic map ].
Ryan Ozawa has it right - the summit benchmark of Mauna Kea reads 13,796 feet, although some more recent satellite measurements have indicated 13,802 feet. That's unquestionably the highest natural point in Hawaii. The enclosure for the Gemini Observatory telescope located a few hundred feet from the summit actually reaches higher than the summit, so the highest manmade point in Hawaii would be the top of Gemini's dome, at somewhere above 13,820 feet.
