I have done the road all the way around on the Hana side and also on the west side of the island. The road on the west, although better maintained, is much worse. It gets to be one lane in many spots with blind turns, no guardrail, etc. I actually had to back up a hill on the side of a cliff with no guardrail because that was what was required, really bad, swore never to drive that road again.

The road to Hana and past the pools is much better, but still narrow and full of potholes. Much of it was closed past Kuapo after the earthquake, not sure if they have opened it yet.

I just wish they would complete a connection at the end of the Piilani Hwy by Kihei that links to the hwy up Haleakala. It would make that drive much better.
