Epic road in Maui - wish I had my seven

[twobone]

I just got back from a great vacation in Maui. We did the (in)famous Road to Hana trip.

 

The road has over 600 hair-pin turns and 59 single lane bridges. Lots of folks reach a certain point and turn back once they see the road turn to dirt.

 

However 10 miles later (once out of cattle territory) it turns into this incredible twisty road with perfect pavement and no traffic. The crashing ocean one one side and rolling hillsides on the other. It felt like the mountain course at the Isle of Man TT. It must be the site of many of your favourite car commercials.

 

I was dreaming of having my seven.

 

PS - add Maui to the bucket list. It is 100% worth the trip!

 

If/when I retire, I will be spending part of it in Maui = surfing/snorkeling/hiking/star gazing/driving/doing nothing

One of the many secrets of the islands and Hawaii. Sounds like you had a great time.

If only all those tour buses and rental cars weren't in the way so often.

Did the full island loop on honeymoon. I agree the road past hana is amazing. Never forget the view from the top to the ocean in one shot. Did a day bike trip for just outside the crater park down to the winery that was really nice.

We also did the road to Hana on our honeymoon. We did the full loop and it took us 12 hours because we stopped at several places along the way.

 

My favorite place in Maui was actually Haleakalā - even if it was 40 degrees and we only had on shorts and a t-shirt.
