How to visit

The road is narrow and one-lane in places. Locals use it every day to get to and from work. The posted speed is twenty-five and that is the right speed; pull off at the next safe shoulder if a car catches up to you. The bridges have weight limits and were not built for RVs. The lookouts are public; the trails down to Onomea Bay from anywhere other than the botanical garden are not. The land you can see down the cliff is private. Do not park in the gulches.
