At the end of the trail - amazing views and definitely worth the hike #AboveItAll
Beautiful day at Waimea Canyon on Kauai, Hawaii. If you ever go to Kauai make sure to make the drive to Waimea Canyon to see spectacular views of both the canyon and the Na Pali coast. For views of the coast you have to drive to the end of the canyon road. A lot of people make the mistake of turning around after visiting the Canyon lookout point never realizing that a beautiful view of the coast awaits at the top of the road.
I never expected to find this lovely stream flowing down from Waimea Canyon but the red earth caught my attention from the road and a very short hike revealed a wonderland.
We rented a jeep to driver out to the canyon. It was totally worth the trip!
