I should’ve added that we passed by the scene of the Jeep rollover near Nahiku only minutes after it happened.. According to the Maui paper, a drunk driver went off the road with a 5-foot drop, the Jeep rolled at least once (we saw it upright with a crushed roof and windows), and his unbelted female passenger was ejected and died not long after. We didn’t stop because there was nothing we could do, What was striking was that it was MANY minutes later before we saw first an ambulance and later a firetruck heading south toward the scene. The Message? Be careful on this road–help is probably NOT near, and even best efforts to reach you will take a while (lights and sirens don’t exempt rescuers from having to deal with curves and distance).

I drove the road for the first time two weeks ago, and I have to say that the difficulty of driving it is WAY overhyped. If you’ve driven roads such as the road up Pike’s Peak, where you get a serious elevation change as well as curves, you won’t find Hana to be particularly challenging. I have to add that the beauty of the drive is not overhyped–it’s a complete “must.”

My favourite bike road. A spiritual riding experience…
