The road to Hana is winding, narrow, beautiful. It encircles the volcano Haleakala from Kahalui back to Kahalui.
‘The road to Hana is dangerous. With approximately 600 curve and 54 bridges, the Road to Hana can bring you closer to heaven in more ways than one. With winding roads, blind turns, constant traffic, distracting views, narrow one-lane roads, cliffs, and wet conditions, Hana Highway has proven its worth as a danger with many fatalities. Take your time, and make sure the driver is focusing on the road. The road is long and offers many chances to pull over and take a break or switch drivers. Remember: Getting to Hana is not the gem of this trip; everything along the way is your reward’ from “The Road to Hana”
These are just some random photos – random because it would take me hours to get them in the proper order!
