Artist Notes

"The Grand Canyon of the Pacific" Mark Twain said that and of Hawaii "the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean" The Garden Island's grand attraction can be enjoyed from Kokee Road and its panoramic lookouts but to fully appreciate its stunning beauty take the 3000 ft descent to Waimea Canyon's forested floor via the Kukui Trail. Better be in shape it is steep. Best go when dry as the river is prone to flash floods Spend a week and follow Waimea River up into Koaie Canyon where you will find deep clear pools and serenity.
