Waimea Canyon — the Grand Canyon of the Pacific — is a spectacular gorge 14 miles long and 3,600 feet deep, its dramatic red-and-purple volcanic walls carved by the Waimea River and exposed by the tilt of Kauai's ancient lava shield, creating colour combinations and geological formations that are genuinely comparable to Arizona's Grand Canyon.
