 EDITOR REVIEW: This amazing, yawning chasm seems almost incongruous on a tiny, tropical island, but the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" harbors a wealth of scenery, lush vegetation, and native fauna. Its multihued brilliance attracts thousands of visitors, who appreciate the canyon's beauty from scenic overlooks or hike into its depths for firsthand views. Roughly 10 miles by 2 miles, Waimea extends down 3600 feet, carved by river waters and provoked by an ancient earthquake. State parks set around the formation provide recreational opportunities and information about local nature and geology. |
