Waimea Canyon - user review We drove the 17-mile road up and through the canyon itself, and then into Kokee State Park.

Take Waimea Canyon Drive, NOT Kokee Road, as the latter is filled... igougo.com

Waimea Canyon State Park - Introduction - expert review If you have yet to make it to the Grand Canyon, Kauai's Waimea Canyon takes a close second.

Waimea Canyon - user review You cannot go to Kauai without seeing what Mark Twain is accredited with saying is the Pacific?™s Grand Canyon.

Waimea Canyon - Waimea - Reviews of Waimea Canyon - TripAdvisor Waimea Canyon is amazing to put it simply. I wouldn't recommend the drive from Kekaha (Kokee Rd.

We were there midday and the lighting... tripadvisor.com
