Waimea Canyon

We had a gorgeous day!
The blue on the top right is the Pacific Ocean on Kaua'i's south shore.



Waimea Canyon is 1 mile wide, 10 miles long, and about 4000 feet deep. The layers visible in the cliffs were created with each additional lava flow. Mt. Wai'aleale attracts lots of rain (440"/year) and all of that rain finds it's way down waterfalls and rivers which have carved out the canyon and flows out to Waimea Bay. It's beautiful.
