Waimea State Park

Waimea Canyon State Park, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is a large canyon located on the western side of Kauaʻi in the Hawaiian Islands. The canyon is approximately ten miles long and up to 3,000 feet deep, carved by the Waimea River. The park offers scenic lookouts, hiking trails, and picnic areas, providing opportunities to witness the canyon's sheer magnitude and diverse geological formations. The canyon has a unique geologic history, formed by the collapse of a volcano and erosion by the Waimea River. The park is also home to a variety of flora and fauna, and its cultural significance is evident in the ancient Hawaiian settlements that once thrived in the area
