Waimea Canyon, the "Grand Canyon" of Kaua'i is the largest canyon in the Pacific and truly an amazing sight. The canyon measures 10 miles long, 1 mile wide, and more than 3,500-feet deep. It was carved thousands of years ago by rivers and floods that flowed from Mount Waialeale's summit. The lines in the canyon walls depict different volcanic eruptions and lava flows that have occurred over the centuries. While we were there, the clouds were so thick we had to wait for them to clear, but once they had we were able to observe this beautiful natural wonder.
