Wettest in the World….Almost If you take the road up to Waimea Canyon….a very beautiful place, and then you keep going, you will end up at Wai’ Ale’ Ale lookout/peak. It is on top of the Na Pali Coast. And, it is listed as the second wettest...
Waimea Canyon Another of the sites on this island is Waimea Canyon. It is called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. The colors there are nice enough, but there is also a nice waterfall on the far wall of the canyon (from the road). As you can imagine, I will be sharing...
The Pier at Hanalei A gentlemen at the resort we stayed at told us of the hike down to the bay. There was a storm due to come in and we were hoping to see some big waves. When we got down to the beach on the east side of the bay, there were no big waves yet, but here...

The Gnarled Tree Linda and I took a bit of a walk while we were at Crater Lake and this old tree was standing along the path. I was fascinated by the tree because I just imagined the struggles it has seen. I would love to hear the stories it has to tell. Nikon D300s...
Blue & Green One of the cool things about the area of the giants, there are lava flows everywhere and here, they are covered with moss. It is a very moist here and there is lots of green. In the light, it looks like a blue wall with green grass growing and then...
The Giant Boulders At the same stop as the Mill Creek Falls, you can take the trail a different way and end up at a place called The Avenue of the Giant Boulders. It is on the Rogue River below the location for an old hydroelectric power plant. These are some of those...
