With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Located in a scenic canyon across the street from the Menehune Ditch, the Waimea Swinging Bridge is perhaps one of the area’s scariest attractions, and is only suggested for those without a fear of heights. The Waimea Swinging Bridge crosses the Waimea River and provides the only access to farms on the other side. This particular bridge is not to be confused with the more popular – but perhaps a little less terrifying – Hanapepe Swinging Bridge, which also crosses the Waimea River through nearby Hanapepe Town.
