Nicknamed "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific",
Waimea Canyon is indeed reminiscent of the Grand Canyon. Waimea
is smaller but beautiful all the same, with its sides made of
layers in vivid colors representing different eruptions and
lava flows. The canyon measures 10 miles long, 1 mile wide, and
more than 3,500-feet deep. To get there take Waimea Canyon Road
which begins in Waimea. The road travels through the canyon area
and ends at Pu'u o Kila Lookout. Stop at the Waimea Canyon Lookout
for a great vista.
