isn't under water. Some bad flooding in Hawaii lately.

When the road turns toward the ocean you get an often spectacular view of the sea from a height. When it turns away from the sea there is often a waterfall. This goes on for about 600 curves.

The road continues past Hana and you can circumnavigate the island, though most of the backside route isn't so spectacular.

I still remember my Father being pissed that I wanted to buy a (minimally) sporty car with manual transmission when I was a teenager. At the time we lived in a city with quite a few hills impacting their main roads. Well, he showed me--dropped me off and told me to figure it out. Heaven help whoever was behind me at all those stoplights going down or uphill--LOL. Still, by the time I got home, my white knuckles had blood flow again and I think I still had use of the clutch for at least a while longer.

But, that road brings a certain horror only elevated by that memory.

I've heard a lot of folks have guns. (Don't know why)

I know this is the "roll the eyes" smilie but I'm inserting it here because the face is green to represent nausea.


And just because someone is nauseous doesn't mean they're going to do this.

Just walked?

I regularly work out but I would never make it walking.

and all that, Niagara.

Then I'd be flat on my belly panting.

you could roll a marble from one end to the other, deb?

walls of the cafeteria. That was fun. This road makes me dizzy just looking at it.

Some jerk put a STOP sign at the top. Try keeping the car from rolling backward when you take your foot off the brake and then hit the gas pedal.

You're trying to go fast enough to make it up the hill but slow enough to stay in your lane.

Try Flagstaff road in Boulder, CO.

I drove this

Somewhere in South America is my guess.

Chihuahua, Mexico (Copper Canyon)
Dirt road at the time, it may be paved now.

on that!

WHEEEEEEEE!

I got a little car I would just love to wring out on a road like that.
Anyone wanna ride with me? “Get in, sit down, shut up and hold on!”

I've always enjoyed leaning into a curve. 😀 🏁

Mine at least would depend upon it being a closed course. You just cannot drive that road in a car like it deserves if it's open.

The photo does not capture the beauty of most of the route. I never felt fear during this magnificent journey.

And why didn't they just make the road straight? What's the point of all the curves?

He's gonna be pretty winded by the time he gets to the top!
