My wife and I will be in Maui in July. Of course, we plan to visit Haleakala.
My question concerns the bicyclists. I know the tour groups will take people up for the sunrise, then let them ride downhill. What we're trying to do is avoid the downhill rush of bikes as we drive up.
Is the highway restricted at certain times for the bicyclists? Is this done every day?
We were looking at driving up in the mid-morning and spending the whole day (and sunset) atop the peak. We just don't want to get caught in the crunch of bike riders and tour busses.
