Hanalei Valley
Lookout
Hanalei Valley Lookout
offers one of the most famous views on Kauai. The valley is one mile
wide and six miles long. Most of the taro grown in Hawaii is grown here.
On the valley floor is a one-way truss bridge built in 1912. The bridge
was damaged by a tsunami in 1957, and subsequently reinforced. Legend
has it that the rainbow came to Hawaiian Islands from the bluffs just
beyond the valley when a piece of brightly colored kapa cloth was thrown
into a pool below Namolokama Falls, and its colors arched up in the
mist.

Waimea Canyon from
Kalalau Point
Stretching some ten miles
long and three thousand feet deep, this massive canyon is a spectacular
sight, all knife-edge cliffs, sheer drops and roiling clouds. The best
place to see it is from the Kalalau Lookout point.
