Hawai'i's Scenic Byways

Hawaii’s Scenic Byways Program showcases roads throughout Hawaii that have an important story to tell to both local residents and visitors. These roads hold more than what meets the eye —their archaeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and/or scenic qualities are of statewide and quite probably national significance. The byway sponsor groups manage their scenic byways to protect and enhance them through collaborations with government agencies and business and community groups.  Hawaii joined the National Scenic Byways Program in 2009, and participates with other U.S. States, National Parks and other Federal land agencies, Native American tribes as well as with Canada and Japan.
