Snake Road

On the H1 north, after leaving Mililani you have the choice of either going through Wahiawa or Scholfield. More often than not, we always take the Scholfield way for a couple of reasons. First, you don't have to go through Wahiawa. The most important reason for going through Scholfield is because of this road... Snake Road. It's a rural two-lane road that goes through the old cane fields. It skirts right along the Waianae Mtn. range. As soon as you past the last Scholfield Barracks gate, you immediately are in the country.

I love this road because it goes through a forest of ironwood trees, beside a river, through farms and once over the last ridge, the whole north shore is before you. Just coming over the last ridge before starting down.

you can tell how the elevation drops here.
the turn off towards our house. this is the only light in Waialua...it's blinking.

Sorry couldn't take any pics of why they actually call it "snake road"...I was driving! I know that some of you have driven this road and are thinking "WHAT!!!!???". I know that there are a lot of accidents on this road (people not paying attention), but it really is so pretty and when we come over the last ridge, it really is HOME.
