Hands down the better route to Hana. Drove it last week just after that big storm that hit Maui. Leave at 6am so you can be at the Pipiwai trail before 8 am. You’ll have the place on your own till everyone else arrives around 10 or 11. I honestly think it is unnecessary to take that whole Hana route. That winding road to less spectacular falls is not worth the drive. After Pipiwai and the 7 pools, go to Koki beach for some huli huli chicken, then hana’s red beach. Then drive back and experience the sunset at Kaupo before driving back through highway 37.

Just completed this trip tonight and it was raining. Not a crazy amount of rain but there were a lot of rocks that had fallen likely in the last few days. It is not worth it driving it at night. It really is very dangerous. I'm here with family discussing how terrifying some of it was. So it's understood, I'm used to bad mountain roads having grown up in Jamaica before the new highways. This is not for the average driver at all.

Once you get to the transition from two to one lane road it gets hairy. There are blind spots and if you don't see opposing traffic om-coming, you have to back up to the two lanes. On top of that when it transitions, you are probably 300 feet above the ocean with no guard rails.

My bride and I drove the back side of Haleakala in 1983. I remember it being incredibly interesting. In one spot, the road was unpaved over an old, wide lava flow. You could look toward the mountain and follow the flow all the way up. Came back in 1987, and a storm had washed away a section of the road. A chain-link fence blocked access.

Took this road back in 2004 on my honeymoon. Did it in a Ford convertible coupe. I seem to remember it was called the Cow Pow or Kow Pow road by locals. It was a bit sketchy at certain points but the views of the coast and the rugged backside of Haleakala were incredible. It was very dry when we did this drive. I wouldn't advise it during rainy conditions. Oh, I was also aware of the rental car policy if you took this road but was told by a friendly local the conditions were good and just go slow. Mahalo.

I just did this ride two weeks ago, when I was in Maui- actually I do it every time I go to Maui, I love it. It was good. The only issue I had was when I had to back up up a hill since I had the best option to get off to the side and let them pass. The locals stopped when they came up to me and thanked me for letting them pass. If you ask me, the west side loop of Maui is worse.

This road is an ADVENTURE. I was here during beginning March of 2017. The locals told us to take this road and on the way there, we could see heavy dark rain clouds up in Haleakala. It wasn’t raining for us down on the road, but you could tell it was pouring hard up in Haleakala. Anyways, at some point during our drive, all the water that was dropped up there came rushing down as a flash flood along with large boulders. Thankfully we were on a road path that was elevated when the water started flooding the path ahead of us. When we turned back around to go back to Hana, the other part of the road had just started to flood. With both ends of the roads flooded, we had no way out and got stuck there with a couple other drivers. Thankfully some were locals, and one lady also happened to be coming back from her camping trip so she had various survival tools in her truck that we used to chop down wood and start a fire. It was around 7 pm and it was getting dark quickly. We went to sleep in our cars. Around 2 am, I woke up to some chatter outside the car. When I stepped outside, the night sky was so clear, you could see so many stars, it was such a lovely sight. They had just cleared the road for us. We didn’t get back to our hotel in Kahului until 5 am. We had our flight back to the mainland at 8 am. Some might say it was an unfortunate event to be stuck out there on the east side, but to me it was the cherry on top of my trip. What an adventure. I like to believe the island didn’t want me to leave, because we were so close to missing our flight back to the mainland. I cannot wait to go back once things calm down with the pandemic.

We took that route out to Hana and drove the north road back. It's definitely a rougher road than the north one, but not terribly rough if you're used to gravel/off-road driving, and is just as windy in a lot of spots. I liked the variety but I can see why the rental places don't want you driving there as it's very remote. More important than the bumps, IMO, is that there is much more single lane/narrow sections without as much yield signs and pull out areas, so it'd be a nightmare to drive if there were more cars on it. We had to back up a few times to let cars pass. We had a small SUV (Nissan Rogue I think) which was totally fine for the bumps, but we did pass a Mustang w/ a slow leak that was stopping constantly trying to pump it back up. Unfortunately we couldn't do anything to help them but they were pretty close to the national park. Guessing they had a much longer day than planned. Low profile tires would not be good here with the potholes/rocks/ruts.

Why is the road like this? Was just in Maui and drove the entire island and both the big and small circle parts, very odd Maui overall had absolutely perfect brand new roads except for this tiny spot on both sides of the island where for like a 5 mile stretch, it turns into an ATV path. Why?? It is so baffling, the only reason I can think of it locals want it that way to minimize the amount of through traffic because they don't want it congested.

when you come across somebody coming the other way, how to decide who backs up? And how far to back up? What if there are cars already behind you?

Beautiful road I don’t think I’ll ever see it because my wife doesn’t want to go there too bad

Road it on a motorcycle a few years back for my Birthday in November. The rental was late getting to me and I had to ride some of the way back in mostly darkness. Note to self: Next time go in August

In the dark, on that road, would suck. Was it a rough ride (road surface) on the bike?

Done it 3 times, will not do it anymore since that shortcut to Kihei is no longer there😔
