Drive Piilani Highway (Backside) to Hana, Maui, Hawaii

Take road less traveled and steer away from traffic and crowded stopsby taking the back road to Hana - as the locals do. The route starts in Kula and follow the road southwest on Piilani Highway (Hwy 31) toward Kaupo, which leads you east around the backside of Haleakala. Most of the road is desolate but along the way there is a roadside hamburger stand, a couple general stores, and even a winery. The road is rough and unpaved at times. Be sure to honk around blind corners. The road doesn’t require 4WD but check with rental car company to verify if they allow cars to take this route.
