Scenic Drive: The Big Island
The island of Hawaii is twice
as large as the rest of the archipelago put together. It just happens to
be beautiful too. This drive roams the edges of the Big Island, beginning
in the garden town of Hilo then traveling through the islands extensive
volcanic zone. It makes a side trip to the southernmost point in the
United States before passing through Kona coffee country. After basking
in the sunshine resort areas of Kailua and Kohala, you can take a look at
ancient temples. Then make your way through lush coastal rain forests
back to Hilo.
