It's only been 5 months, suppose I should post those Hawaii honeymoon pics! Here we go.
Our first trek was to Waimea Canyon, a bit bleary-eyed from the 3 flights we had taken the day prior. This place is incredible and known as the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific.' You've probably seen some of the landscape in Jurassic Park. All of those movies had some filming on Kauai, either in the canyon or on the coast.
This part of of the island is a rainforest (Mt. Wai'ale'ale gets over 450" of rain per year!). While it was 80+ and sunny at the coast, the climb in elevation brought a 20 degree drop in temperature and increased clouds until we were essentially within the rain cloud with there was no visibility. So we later ventured back down a bit to get in a short hike and a better view of the canyon. What a view.
