A Trip up Waimea Canyon
The Pacific's Grand Canyon, Waimea Canyon on Kauaii is a spectacle to behold. Beginning on the South side of the island it rams smack into the Na Pali coast.
The winding roads were the appropriate amount of twist and turn, certainly not a repeat of the nausea inducing "dragon's tail"
The whole of the south is covered in this red clay looking soil. It stains everything you own a nice brownish red.
The canyon is mostly formed by the flow of water, just like the more famous Grand Canyon, in addition it did have some assistance from lava flows and a collapsing volcano. Wikipedia Knows
As usual, I took pictures of graffiti stickers on a sign which no longer communicates. The lack of a wide angle lens presented a challenge in scenes like this. This is the second impasse it caused, the first was a lack of hotel room pictures.
But, it does take great pictures of Kat!
