❓Grand Canyon or Grand Canyon of the Pacific?
✔️When we got to Waimea Canyon the weather was not exactly in our favour to explore, so we headed to the Awa'awapuhi trail further up the road for some Na Pali Coast vistas.
✔️As we were driving back, and made peace of not hiking in the Canyon, we stopped at a lookout and noticed the weather had cleared!
✔️We Checked the time and decided to go on the Canyon Trail a 3.6 miles return trip...Bingo, what a great idea!
✔️The trail takes to the Canyon Rim and the views are fantastic (see the photo)...litteraly breath taking views.
✔️Waimea Canyon was definitely a highlight on Kauai!
✔️It is said the Canyon was formed when the Waimea River rose from the heavy rainfall going down Mount Waiʻaleʻale and carved the Canyon.
✔️Waimea actually means 'red water' in reference to the soil found in the Canyon.

✔️Quand nous sommes arrivés au Canyon de Waimea, le temps n'était pas vraiment de la partie! Nous avons donc opté pour la rando de Awa'awapuhi trail un peu plus loin, connue pour les vues sur la Na Pali Coast
✔️ Sur la route du retour, alors que nous avions accepté le fait que nous ne ferions pas de rando dans le canyon, un arrêt au lookout nous dévoile un temps dégagé!
✔️Ni un, ni deux, on regarde l'heure et hop on est partie pour la rando du Canyon...3,6 miles A/R!
✔️La Rando se fait sur les hauteurs du Canyon nous donnant des vues imprenables et magnifique...Litteralement à couper le souffle!
✔️Le canyon aurait été formée par la rivière Waimea gonflée par les pluies descendants du Mont Wai'ale'ale.
✔️Waimea veut en fait dire "les eaux rougeâtres" en reference à la couleur des sols du canyon.

Your picture and description reminds me of my time in Alaska. The landscape was breath taking. The nature was so big. Makes you wonder if that is where they coined the expression, larger than life.
