Waimea Canyon
A canyon in Hawaii? Yes it’s true – Waimea Canyon on the island of Kauai is often referred to as ‘The Grand Canyon of the Pacific’. It’s approximately 14 miles long, one mile wide and up to 3,600 feet deep. The formation of the canyon is quite unique – it came to be thanks to a slow process of erosion coupled with the collapse of the volcano that created Kauai itself. A lookout point offers spectacular views of the rugged terrain and colorful vistas that seem to go on for ages.
