On the rugged western side of Kauai, you'll find one of the island's true highlights: Waimea Canyon, which has been dubbed the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." At 14 miles long, a mile wide, and over 3,500 feet deep, Waimea is a bit smaller than the actual Grand Canyon, but much more lush. Unlike most canyons, which are formed by rivers, Waimea came into existence when a portion of the volcanic island collapsed about 4 million years ago. The resulting depression filled with lava flows, which over time were eroded by Kauai's abundant rainfall.
