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.

Clean, comfortable, no pests. Friendly and helpful staff. Cozy and rustic plantation cabins. The outside furniture was a bit worn and many cobwebs in the rear. We didn’t have enough wash cloths, hand towels or coffee. We called for a delivery but they never came. Second request in person and they ...

The room was clean but the property had clutter that needed to be cleaned up. My room had no issues, had no ocean view, the park and ocean view are a block away. I cooked on the barbeque and used the pavilion, that was great. The beach near the hotel has cloudy water from the river, a few miles down ...

House in Kekaha was perfect; has everything you needed to be comfortable. Communication with host was great. You’re very close to a great beach good for surfing or swimming. The town itself is very small and quiet, but you’re close to Waimea with more dining options, if needed. Would definitely stay ...
