点评:Running east-west from Kahului to Pu'u'ula'ula (Red Hill), it ascends the tallest peak of Haleakalā mountains, to an elevation of 10,023ft above sea level. It holds the world record for climbing to the highest elevation in the shortest distance of 35 miles. Construction of the well-maintained two-lane paved road started in 1933 and took two years to complete, it contains many blind turns, very steep drop-offs without guardrails, and 32 switchbacks, it was opened to the public in 1935.
Sometimes animals including cows and geese cross the highway, watch out for them when the conditions are foggy. Even though The National Park Service has suspended commercial bicycle tours within the park after many fatal bike accidents, they are still a danger on the lower slopes of the highway, especially on blind corners when the cyclists tend to swing wide.
To drive the road without stopping to admire the "moon like" scenery will take between 1 and 1.5 hours. Do not try and visit the Park for sunrise without an appointment, as they have only 75 parking places. (have to book one-two month in advance)
TIP: The last place for food or petrol is in Makawao.
I would appreciate a thumbs up below if you found this review informative.
Thank you.
翻译:从 Kahului 东西向延伸至 Pu'u'ula'ula(红山),它登上了 Haleakalā 山脉的最高峰,海拔 10,023 英尺。它保持着以 35 英里的最短距离攀登至最高海拔的世界纪录。这条维护良好的双车道柏油路于 1933 年动工,历时两年完工,其中包含许多盲转弯、非常陡峭且没有护栏的下坡路段以及 32 个折弯道,并于 1935 年向公众开放。
有时包括牛和鹅在内的动物会穿过高速公路,在有雾的情况下要小心。尽管国家公园管理局在发生多起致命的自行车事故后暂停了公园内的商业自行车游览,但在高速公路的较低斜坡上,它们仍然是一种危险,尤其是在骑自行车的人倾向于大范围摆动的死角处。
不停地开车欣赏“月亮般”的风景需要 1 到 1.5 小时。不要在没有预约的情况下尝试参观公园看日出,因为他们只有 75 个停车位。 (需提前一两个月预定)
提示:食物或汽油的最后去处是马卡瓦奥。
