Sally, What incredible colors....I can't believe those gorgeous shots, they took my breath away too! I have been on a few of those very frightening mountain roads but this drive was definitely worth it.

Sally what an asume sight and the colors are fantastic.  This is mother nature at her finest.

Sally, great pictures! I haven't been there for years, but used to go over every other week to drive for a kayak tour; take them from the beach at Polehale to the canyon to look down at the coast they had paddled that day. Thanks for the memories!

Absolutely beautiful ...and so wild looking!

Carole: How I wish I could have all of you in the same car...riding along and experiencing with me!

George: Sure is!  I never get tired of looking at our views here :)

Hey Mike!  It's been years since I've been to Kauai as well. (aunt's funeral) We did a bunch of siteseeing so I could go through my "memories" as well :)

Joan: My hair looked quite wild after the wind hit it lol!

Sally.....  the wind almost sounded like small explosions when watching an army or military show or movie.  But the pictures are incredible. And how did you get your name to appear?  And thanks for the quick little history lesson.

Sally I love visiting the Islands with you... I totally needed a holiday today, thank you!

Sally- Beautiful....brought back my memories of standing there taking pictures not too lone ago :)  I love your top photo...the colors are fantastic.  I didn't know all that history of the Island....thanks.

Good morning Sally,

WoW, stunning scenery. I too would have been petrified driving up there, however the drive was clearly worth it judging from your's and Gary's beautiful photos and video.

Jo

I love visiting Waimea Canyon, every time we go to Kauai, I have to stop there. Right where your photos were taken. We tried the helicopter ride once, but my wife got air sick and didn't recover for two days.  Love the video and your photos Sally, and the look of your "New" custom Blog. Very nice!!  :-)

Jeff: That's what the wind sounds like way up there. Add in text with Digital Image program. And Thanks!

Hey Julianna! Thanks and glad you could come along for the ride!

Kathy: Aren't they neat?  Some of the ocean pics I take with this camera come out with weird sky and ocean colors...eerie but cool.

Jo: Sure was worth it!  Sweaty feet and all lol!

Brad: I saw a video on You Tube on a helicopter ride going through there. Nope..not me either. Thanks for the compliments...I'm trying with all!

Sally, last time I visited Hawaii I got to visit Oahu and Maui but Kauai is so beautiful next time back I need to see this island.

Gary: You sure do! It's the Garden Isle.

Sally, that's truly magical... Thank you so much for sharing!!!! :-)

Hi Sally - all I can say is "wow Wow WOW" to those pictures - beautiful! I bet that was just amazing in person, too. Ann

Sally, They are beautiful pictures. I can imagine how breath taking it must have been seeing it in person.Thanks for sharing.

Sally- How exciting and beautiful all at once! When I went to Kaui I only stayed at this one resort and saw all the gorgeous flowers. It was only one weekend out of the time I lived on Oahu. It is amazing how priorities change as you get older and what we appreciate.

WOW!!! 

I want everyone to see this blog! 

Now featured on TravelingRainers...

Thanks for stopping Inna!

Gita: Just magical and took my breath away.

I love it all Katerina!

WooHoo to Traveling Rainers!

Interesting to see how it looks there. My cousin has a son that is missing. He went hiking in April in Kauai and has not been seen sense.

Julie: I heard about that on the news.

They found some of his things by a camp site up there. They also received his laptop from a girl that said he told her he didn't need it anymore. We are hoping he chose to disappear since he had been watching a movie about a boy that walked away from his life and disappeared.

My fiance and I are getting married on Kauai in August. You've definitely given us some more wonderful things to see and places to explore. Nothing like a travel guide from a native to set you right.

That looks so incredibly beautiful!  Thank you Sally!
