点评:Scariest experience of my life. We were within an inch of death. That’s not an exaggeration. Like others, Google Maps took us on this route without any warnings, though we found out later our car rental company prohibits people from driving on this road.
Most of the Kahekili Hwy in Maui is a barely 1 lane dirt road with no guardrails & numerous blind hairpin curves, and sheer drop-offs up to a few hundred feet.
There is no where to turn around once you’re on this road, which took us about 2.5 hours to go 12 miles.
There’s cars going both ways, so you have to back up around these sheer cliffs, unable to see.
If you have to take it, DO NOT DRIVE COUNTERCLOCKWISE as you’ll have to drive on the outside instead of hugging the mountain.
We almost went over the edge at one point when the driver on the inside lane tried to flag us around him. We had to actually stop, back up several feet and have him scoot his car directly against the mountain or we would’ve gone over the edge.
I talked to my friend who grew up in Maui and she said we were crazy and the locals don’t even go on that road.
I’m normally talkative, but was so scared I was silent almost the entire time.
There are other places to enjoy the break taking scenery. Just don’t do it on this road!
翻译:这是我人生中最恐怖的经历。我们差点儿丧命。这可一点也不夸张。和其他人一样,谷歌地图毫无预警地就带我们上了这条路,不过后来我们才知道,我们的租车公司禁止人们在这条路上行驶。
毛伊岛的卡赫基利高速公路大部分路段都是一条仅有单车道的土路,没有护栏,弯道盲区很多,还有高达几百英尺的陡峭山坡。
上了这条路,就没地方掉头了,我们花了大约2.5个小时才走了12英里。
双向都有车,所以你只能倒车绕过这些陡峭的悬崖,什么也看不见。
如果必须走这条路,千万不要逆时针行驶,因为你必须靠外行驶,而不是紧贴着山体行驶。
有一次,内侧车道的司机试图示意我们绕道,我们差点就翻过悬崖。我们不得不停下来,倒退几英尺,让他把车直接撞到山上,否则我们就会翻下去。
我和在毛伊岛长大的朋友聊了聊,她说我们疯了,当地人根本不走那条路。
我平时很健谈,但当时太害怕了,几乎全程都保持沉默。
还有其他地方可以欣赏风景,可以休息一下。千万别在这条路上!
