This is the road to Hilo from the Kona side of the Island. Good paved road. Long up hills and down hills, straight as a pin.

    I like to drive on the saddle road very much. It is actually a highway. The scenery along the way is very good. The towns passing by are very beautiful. The road conditions of the road are very good. It feels super cool to drive!

    Walk Highway 200 (Maan Road) and stop at the foot of Monaroya volcano, a dead wasteland left by the 1984 eruption. The saddle-shaped Route 20 runs through the Big Island of Hawaii and is connected to Route 190. Along the highway are the two high-altitude volcanoes of the Big Island, Monaqueya and Monaroya, with a flat elevation of more than 2 km. It is precisely because these two mountains block the warm Pacific clouds passing through the islands that make the eastern and western parts of the island very different. The impact on Ma'an Road is fatal, because the clouds are at an altitude of 2 km on the road, the road is cloudy and dangerous, fortunately the brand new asphalt road has reduced some psychological shadows, but if you are not familiar with the road conditions, it is still exempt.

    It is actually a highway, with endless land on both sides, and I don't know what plants or crops have been planted. The road is straight forward, slightly undulating, and it will go up and down for a while.

    The road is a very beautiful road that runs through the island. The western half of the road reminds me of certain parts of Colorado, the dry erosion of hills and earth slopes. Not so exciting, but beautiful

    The scenery is chic for a leisurely walk - Maanshan Road in Kona is a section of the road in Hawaii, the United States, as the name implies, like a saddle, the most concave is the lowest of the saddle, the two highest are the gray mountains left behind after two volcanic eruptions. The guide said the height difference between the lowest and highest points of the road was close to 2000 meters. I saw that the Ma'anshan Road, which is super high above sea level, was very well maintained. Because the altitude gap is huge, so driving this trip, I have experienced that nature is so magical, from the lush forest at the lowest altitude, to the green grass in the middle of the slope, to the foot of the mountain at the highest altitude, it is the gray mountains, the changing scenery along the way, From the thick green woods, and then to the grassland like a green grass, it is best to come to the bare foot of the mountain. The scenery throughout the year is here to show to my eyes. The beautiful scenery outside the car window flashes in front of me. It is so beautiful. But we also experience rain and fog occasionally because of the elevation, and as the altitude continues to rise, we welcome bright sunshine and beautiful blue sky. This is the Ma'an Road on the Big Island of Hawaii, the scenery is chic and different. Worth experiencing! Address: Hawaii Highway 200, Kailua-Kona, Island of Hawaii, HI Opening hours: all day
