Today, I booked an escorted tour to see the Waimea Canyon.
Nawiliwili, Kauai, Hawaii.
Waimea Canyon.
Waimea Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is a large canyon, approximately 16 km long and up to 900 m deep, located on the western side of Kauai. Waimea is Hawaiian for "reddish water", referencing the erosion of the canyon's red soil. The canyon was formed by a deep incision of the Waimea River arising from the extreme rainfall on the island's central peak, Mount Waiʻaleʻale, among the wettest places on earth.
