Round Top Drive winds up a ridge with views over Honolulu the whole way. Tantalus Lookout reveals Diamond Head to the east and Honolulu International Airport and Pearl Harbor to the west, and it is especially popular at sunset. Near the top, the final stretch to the lookout area must be walked with the bike. The ride passes through banyan tree tunnels and about 12 hairpin turns, climbing roughly 1,100 feet over 6.3 miles. The road can be narrow in places, with light but attentive traffic.
