If you ever get to the Big Island of Hawaii, definitely take the Saddle Road across the middle of the island. That is an experience. You go from 80 degree temps to the mid 40s and then on the other side, back to the 80s. In between you get quite a change of landscape.

Some rental cars still prohibit you using that road but they've really improved it in recent years. Used to be a very dangerous road but not so bad now.

Highest speed limts to be found on the island now!

The new extension to 180 bypassed the dangerous part and it all flies now. Just watch for the cops descending into Hilo with speed limit drops going downhill.

The road you describe is, I think, the one where more than one bicyclist has died when they failed to make the corner and flew into the volcanic rocks.
