Today we headed down to Waimea Canyon. John and I had been before (in fact, we'd done several hikes in the canyon on our last trip), but it was nice to introduce my Mom and Dad. I think Waimea Canyon is one of those big surprises on the island. You drive up the mountain road and suddenly come face to face with this stunning terrain. The most stunning views, in my opinion can be found at "the end of the road" in the park, looking down from the top to the Napali coastline. I was unable to take a picture that did it justice. It's one of the few places that calls out for a wide angle lens to help you take it all in.

Beautiful! Sounds like you're having an amazing trip!
Gorgeous! Hawaii knows how to make beautiful.
Check out your camera may have a panaromic setting... it stitches the pics when you get home... those are my favs
