- Saddle Road - Saddle Road, Hawaii, is regarded as one of the most spectacular roads worldwide. This 55-mile drive offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Hawaii’s Route 200 traverses all four of its climates – tropical forests, arid desert, lush grasslands, and misty mountaintop fog. Between miles 19 and 23, you’ll encounter areas with lava flows and young vegetation and trees. Near the road, you can observe where lava thickened, leaving the characteristic mounds of a slowing flow. Just past mile 23, you’ll approach a popular local landmark, Pu`u Huluhulu, an older Mauna Kea cinder cone, or kīpuka, surrounded by younger lava flows. At this point, you’re near the peak height for Saddle Road, approximately 1.25 miles in elevation – 6,632 feet. From here, continue through the volcanic aftermath of hundreds of thousands of years of lava activity as you head toward Belt Road, eventually descending into Kona or Waikoloa.
