点评:The Haleakalā Highway climbs up to 10,000 ft and brings you to the summit of Haleakalā National Park from where you can look 2,600 ft down into the crater of the dormant volcano. The drive gets more spectacular the higher you get. It is a somewhat challenging winding road with steep drop-offs in parts and with no guardrail, but it is well paved and manageable if you are a confident driver and take your time especially when making the descent. It's a long drive. It takes about an hour to reach the summit once you start on the Highway. The drive is enjoyable but reaching the summit of the crater is the highlight. I found the GuideAlong Audio Tour (also known as the GyPSy App) to be very helpful when making the drive as it provides much information about Haleakalā, and it helps pass the time. I stopped at a couple spots to get photos as you can see all the way down the southern coast of Maui to McGregor Point if the weather is clear. If it is cloudy and raining, there is no point to making this harrowing drive as you won't see anything at the summit.
翻译:哈莱阿卡拉公路海拔高达 10,000 英尺,带您到达哈莱阿卡拉国家公园的山顶,从那里您可以俯瞰 2,600 英尺外的休眠火山口。海拔越高,路况越壮观。这是一条有点具有挑战性的蜿蜒道路,部分路段陡峭,没有护栏,但如果您驾驶技术高超,尤其是在下山时能慢慢来,这条路还是比较容易驾驭的。这是一段很长的路程。从高速公路出发后,大约需要一个小时才能到达山顶。开车的过程很愉快,但到达火山口的山顶才是亮点。我发现 GuideAlong 语音导览(也称为 GyPSy App)在开车时非常有用,因为它提供了许多有关哈莱阿卡拉的信息,有助于打发时间。我在几个地方停下来拍照,如果天气晴朗,您可以看到从毛伊岛南部海岸一直到麦格雷戈角的景色。如果天气阴天并下雨,那么这次惊险的驾驶就没有任何意义了,因为你在山顶什么也看不到。
