Saddle Road (Hawaii Route 200)

Hawaii’s Saddle Road, also known as Route 200, stretches across the Big Island, winding through the valley between the towering Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Once a rough and partially unpaved path, the road is now fully paved, offering a smooth journey through some of Hawaii’s most rugged and remote landscapes. As you drive, you’ll be surrounded by stark volcanic terrain and sweeping vistas. The route also provides access to the Mauna Kea Visitor Station, making it a practical and scenic choice for travelers exploring the island.
