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.
If you’ve ever lived on or visited the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, you’ve certainly witnessed the splendor that is the Waimea Canyon. Nearly 14 miles long, one mile wide, and more than 3,600 feet deep, Waimea Canyon is full of striking cliffs, incredible colors, and cascading waterfalls. Often referred to as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” Waimea Canyon State Park is perhaps home to Hawaii’s most unspoiled natural beauty.
But did you know that there is a nearby park with even more incredible views of the canyon, hiking trails, and more picturesque vistas than anyone could ever document? Yep, you read that right – Koke’e State Park is perhaps even more incredible than its neighbor, and no trip to Kauai is complete without a visit to this natural wonder.
