"Saddle Road·Saddle Highway" is the world's highest peak of the island on the north side of the island "Mauna Kea" (if the height under the sea is calculated, the top of the mountain is snowy all year round, so locals call it the white mountain. This is the paradise of stargazing enthusiasts, and the top has a very good astronomical observation point: On average, there are more than 300 clear nights a year; the observatory's altitude reduces a considerable part of the atmosphere's impact on observations; and finally, at 20 degrees north latitude, the starry sky can be observed simultaneously in the northern and southern hemispheres. And the second peak, Mauna Loa, passed through the middle.

    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
