  • Waimea Canyon on the west side of the island of Kauai in Hawaii is a large canyon, approximately ten miles long and up to 3,000 feet deep. It is the largest canyon in the Pacific. The canyon, located in Waimea Canyon State Park and near Kokee State Park, was formed by the Waimea River which gets much of its water from the heavy rainfall on Mount Waialeale one of the wettest places on earth. This erosion was aided by a catastrophic collapse of the volcano that created Kauai, the oldest of the main Hawaiian islands. Over time, exposed basalt has weathered from its original black to bright red. The canyon can be seen from several overlooks on the road from Waimea to Kokee State Park.

  • A waterfall cascades down the fluted cliffs in Kalalau Valley at sunset in Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park. Continious erosion of the volcano that created Kauai has produced the knife-edged cliffs that are the signature of the Na Pali coast. The view is from the Kalalau Lookout in Kokee State Park on the island of Kauai in Hawaii.

  • The knife-edged spines of cliffs in Kalalau Valley bask in sunlight at sunset in Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park. Continious erosion of the volcano that created Kauai has produced the razor-thin cliffs that are the signature of the Na Pali coast. The view is from the Kalalau Lookout in Kokee State Park on the island of Kauai in Hawaii.

  • The 16 square mlle Alakai Swamp, part of the Alakai Wilderness Preserve on the island of Kauai in Hawaii, is located on a plateau near Mt. Waialeale, one of the wettest spots on Earth. Because of this, it is home to alpine bogs. Technically though, this montane wet forest is not a true swamp. The swamp's fragile environment is home to endangered birds, rare plants and insects. Much of the Alakai Swamp trail is a boardwalk that is raised above the bog whose standing water is the color of tea from the decomposing plant material. While the end of the trail ends at Kilohana lookout with an incredible vista of Hanalei Bay on Kauai's north shore, most hikers never see the view as the overlook is usually enveloped in mist-laden fog. The pictured telephone pole is a remnant from World War II.

  • The Kilauea Point Lighthouse, located on the northernmost point of the main Hawaiian islands on the island of Kauai, was built in 1913 as a navigational aid for commercial shipping between Hawaii and the Orient. It was deactivated in 1976 and replaced with an automated beacon for local boaters and aircraft. The lens of the lighthouse was designed by Augustin Fresnel and built in Paris, France. The lens was originally lit by a incandescent oil vapor lamp and could be seen 20 miles out to sea and 90 miles from the air. In 1930 a light bulb replaced the oil lamp, eventually reaching a wattage of 2,500,000 candle power. Originally, the 4.5 ton light assembly was rotated with a system much like how descending weights turn the hands on a cuckoo clock. These weights that would descend the center of the lighthouse would have to be pulled up by the lighthouse keeper ever 3.5 hours. Eventually a motor replaced the weight mechanism. People pictured are unidentified.

  • The dramatic peaks of Makana Ridge above Haena and Kee Beach mark the begining of the Na Pali coast on the Island of Kauai in Hawaii. The main peak, Makana (right), was used by early Hawaiians to conduct the fire throwing ceremony called oahi. On special occasions firethrowers climbed the cliffs to the top of Makana with logs that were set  on fire at night and thrown out over the ocean. Updrafts kept the logs and sparks aloft for up to a mile out to sea in a dramatic display. In more recent times, the peak has been associated with the movie South Pacific where the peak represented Bali Hai.

  • Pictured is the automatic beacon on Kilauea Point that replaced the nearby Kilauea Point Lighthouse. The beacon is used for local boaters and aircraft. The Kilauea Point beacon and lighthouse is part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge on the island of Kauai in Hawaii.

  • One of the ways to access the Alakai Swamp, part of the Alakai Wilderness Preserve on the island of Kauai in Hawaii is via the typically very muddy and slippery Pihea Trail. Pictured is a hiker at the end of the day after having hiked both trails. Nearly all the mud actually came from the Pihea Trail and not the Alakai Swamp Trail. The Alakai Swamp Trail is built over raised boardwalks for most of the trail to protect the swamp.

  • DIGITAL PANORAMA COMPOSITED IMAGE -Sunrise on the Kilauea Point Lighthouse located on the northernmost point of the main Hawaiian islands on the island of Kauai. The lighthouse, built in 1913 as a navigational aid for commercial shipping between Hawaii and the Orient was deactivated in 1976 and replaced with an automated beacon for local boaters and aircraft. The Kilauea Point Lighthouse is part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is home to the largest populations of nesting seabirds in Hawaii including red-footed boobies, Laysan albatrosses, wedge-tailed shearwaters which nest along the ocean cliffs and open grassy slopes of Crater Hill, an extinct volcano.

  • People silhouetted in late afternoon sunshine walk along Hanakapiai Beach in Na Pali State Wilderness Park on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. While Hanakapiai Beach, located along the Kalalau Trail, looks beautiful is considered treacherous during all months of the year.

  • A hiker crosses the Hanakapiai Stream on side trail of the Kalalau Trail that leads to Hanakapiai Falls in Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park on the north shore of the island of Kauai in Hawaii. The two mile primitive trail from Hanakapiai Beach passes by an old coffee farm and crosses the stream several times before reaching the 120 ft. falls. From the trailhead at Kee Beach in Haena State Park, the strenuous hike to Hanakapiai falls is eight miles roundtrip.

  • In a dense grove of bamboo in the  Hanakapiai Valley lies the remains of a stone chimney of a coffee mill from the late 19th century. The remnants can be seen on the trail to Hanakapiai Falls in the Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park. The 120 foot falls are reached by way of a two mile primitive side trail off the Kalalau Trail which runs along the Na Pali coast on the northern shore of the island of Kauai in Hawaii. From the Kalalau trailhead at Kee Beach in Haena State Park, the strenuous hike is eight miles roundtrip.

  • Taro fields make up much of the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge along the Hanalei River near Hanalei, on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. Wetlands and taro are managed to support waterbirds. Through a cooperative program farmers at Hanalei raise their taro crops on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service land in ways that benefit wildlife.  The refuge was established in 1972 under the Endangered Species Act to conserve five endangered water birds that rely on the Hanalei Valley for nesting and feeding habitat: the koloa (Hawaiian duck), the ‘alae ke‘oke‘o (Hawaiian coot), the ‘alae‘ula (Hawaiian moorhen), the ae‘o (Hawaiian stilt), and the nēnē (Hawaiian goose).
