Waimea: The Grand Canyon of the Pacific

Hawaiians call Waimea Canyon "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific" (http://kauai.aloha-hawaii.com/tours/waimea+canyon/). Lazy Alpaca hasn't been to the Grand Canyon yet so he has no basis for comparison, but he did enjoy renting a bright yellow Jeep and four-wheeling it to and around the red clay formations that line Waimea Canyon.

The jagged edges and peaks of the canyon were particularly impressive, and the areas in which you can see the different layers of the naturally-shaped canyon are impressive indeed.
