The "Saddle Road" crosses the lower-elevation saddle between the Big Island's two great mountains: Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Although it is possible to cross the center of the island via the Saddle Road, the road becomes very rough (nearly impassible) to the west of the road that leads to the Mauna Kea observatories. As such, it is not really a "shortcut" to avoid driving around the northern coast. This photo shows Mauna Loa from the Saddle Road.
