Whew... I'm still alive after the craziest road of my life. We were well aware that this section of the road heading back down to the Central Valley would have one-lane sections but it was pretty much one lane the entire 10 miles with very few and small turn-outs. Let's just say that our rental car had one tire almost hanging off the side of the cliff as we struggled to pass another sedan. (Sorry to scare you Mom...) It was definitely an adventure and we stopped at Julia's Banana Bread hut to buy some of the world's best banana bread (claimed by the authors of the guidebook), but I don't know that this road was really "worth it". Both Ben and I were so nervous about the road, we really couldn't enjoy the amazing scenery. We didn't pass that many cars, but when we did, you're heart just kinda stops for a moment. There aren't any "scenic lookouts" to stop at, but it is beautiful as you drive along the cliff/mountain side with the ocean off to your left. Personally, I would have just turned around at the Olivine pools and headed back toward Lahaina. There were a few hairpin curves where we could practically see the back side of our rental car!
