Waimea Canyon

[urbpan]

Waimea Canyon is the biggest canyon in the Pacific, carved by the incessant rain over the past 6 million years or so falling on Mount Waialeale. It's up to 3500 feet deep, ten miles long, and a mile across in it's widest parts.



Turistas.








Precarious hiking! Watch that first step.


Some find it pretty easy going, though.


Taken with my little camera's "digital zoom" this picture looks like I used an Instamatic in 1967.

*eyes all googly* Wow... That looks a lot like southern Utah, except for the bits of green at the bottom. In Utah they would be crackly and brown and fire.
