3-7-2003  Waimea Canyon:

 Today we headed up to the canyon.  I'll never get tired of the views up there!
Before even getting the road up the canyon, there's a viewpoint from the main highway. 

 View from the top of the canyon looking towards the ocean are awesome, too!

 We definitely picked a great day to drive up the canyon.

 Dad even enjoyed talking to a military guy up at a station in the canyon. 

 On our way down we stopped at several more view points overlooking the canyon.

 It's definitely a must see on the island of Kauai.

 We weren't the only ones enjoying the day there.

 Spend the rest of the day hanging out at Saltpond.  Did a little snorkeling.  First time I've seen one of these guys---a flying gunard! 

 I love the sunsets from Saltpond! 

 Then we made our hour or so trek back to the East side.  A fun day!
