June 7 - Waimea Canyon

Today we drove up to Waimea Canyon. We picked up some malasadas (Portuguese donuts) at Hanalima Baking Co. for breakfast on the way to the canyon. We hiked the Pihea Trail (3 miles) and looked at the Kalalau Valley. Then hiked to an overlook of the Waimea Canyon (1.5 miles), it is known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Pictures really don't do either one justice. We stopped for lunch at Barefoot Burgers in Waimea...boy were we hungry. We stopped to look at Salt Pond Beach and spent a little more time at Glass beach on our way home.
