After my last 4 DP's, it was an absolute must to include one of these!
 That's me, towards the left, sitting at the top of Waipo'o Falls: a mere 800 --plus--feet to the valley floor!
Another shot taken by my husband.
A truly spectacular place!

Check out  another view from across this canyon, looking over towards where I am sitting here, at the top of the smaller (middle) falls.

In my  DP for yesterday, I mentioned "Take note of the reddish-colored, bare promontory"; in this image, we are now standing on top and towards the highest part of that bare 'dome'!
 
With absolutely no other growth nearby, this "Lone Soldier" is proud and stately. Quite a unique tree and is  rooted precariously close to the drop-off edge, and that is one heck of a drop! 

Please reference here for a different perspective of this bare dome area. And if you really look, you will notice this tree at the highest part of the dome, in the middle!
 
After I took this shot, I turned to my right and this magnificient scene  was greeting us!

Still working on Kauai photos.  My husband took this one, showing our destination in Waimea (thanks Bill!  I spelled it right, this time!) Canyon, to Waipo'o Falls.  In a guide book I found the description of a hike taking us to the top of those falls; which when combined, cascade over 800 ft!

Yes! We went on that wonderful, sometimes strenuous, little hike of @ 3 1/2 miles round trip.  So, a few hours from the time of this shot, we were sitting at the top of the highest--smaller--falls, with our feet dangling over the rocks, experiencing a BREATHTAKING view, looking towards where I'm standing here!  
Take note of the reddish-colored, bare promontory to the right of the top of my head, and tune in again tomorrow!!

Mark Twain once called Waimea Canyon the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" and he was certainly right to do so. The area was built up by lava flows, but eons of erosion have carved a 10-mile-long, 1-mile-wide, and more than 3,600 foot deep gorge.
