More publicity has been allotted to magnificent Waimea Canyon, located in Koke'e State Park, than perhaps any other landmark in the Hawaiian Islands. The words often attributed (mistakenly) to Mark Twain describe it best. This is the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," a breathtaking spectacle from any angle. There are a few ways to view Waimea Canyon; several tour companies offer helicopter or airplane tours. However, many people choose to make the trip to the canyon by car. Outdoor enthusiasts may choose to camp in the park (permit required).

It was unfortunately pretty cloudy and wet with low visibility when we went there (so try to drive up to the canyon on a clear day if you can!), but this is definitely a majestic place to see. Many trails branch out of this area. One of my favorite hike is the Awa-Awapuhi to a gorgeous hidden valley on the Na Pali coast.
