"The Wall" -- 20% grade up the east side of Honokohau Bay.

The Blowhole at Nakalele Point, northernmost point on Maui. No sign but look for a parking area with cairns just past a cattle guard and mile marker 38 heading clockwise. A second access is 1/2 mile after mile marker 40.
Point of interest after 24.8 km
Stop at Lorraine's orange sign at the bottom of the hill in Kahakuloa for yummy banana bread and shave ice. Lorraine is a hoot and loves bikers. Julia's banana bread (green shack partway up the hill heading south) is more expensive and not as good.
