The Old Mamalahow Highway is a four-mile section of roadway sometimes just referred to as the “Scenic Route.” The road connects the towns of Waimea and Honokaa and was once the main connector before Highway 19 was built. Visitors travel the more windy road through rainforests and open green land. Bikers can get views of Onomea Bay and cross several century-old bridges. Keep an eye out for remnants of old sugar mills and enjoy the crossings of the Hakalau Stream system.
