Hawaii Big Island hiking

Dear All,

I will be on the big island for a few days in mid of July, and planning to do some hiking. Do any of you know if it is possible to climb to any of the peaks during the night to catch the sunrise? I did this on Mt. Fuji a few years ago and it was unforgettable...

Thanks,
Miklos
