Visiting Sleeping Giant in Kauai, Nounou Mountain, Hawaii, United States
Sleeping Giant, also known as Nounou Mountain,[1] is a mountain ridge located west of the towns Wailua and Kapaʻa in the Nounou Forest Reserve on the Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi. The formation received its common English name both from its resemblance to a reclining human figure, and from a Native Hawaiian legend about a giant who, after great labor or overeating, lay to rest and is yet to awaken. Today Sleeping Giant is a major landmark for tourists visiting Kauai. Hiking trails lead to the highest point of the ridge, or what resembles a forehead. For more info, visit this link:

KUAUI HAWAII - Waimea Canyon and Fern Grotto
KUAUI HAWAII
we visited Waimea Canyon; a blowhole; wailua river and falls; took a boat trip up the river to fern grotto the location that is famous for its cave and weddings and were treated to a traditional Hawaiian wedding song.
Kauaʻi or Kauai (/kə.ˈwaɪ.iː/; Hawaiian: [kɔuˈwɐʔi]) is geologically the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. With an area of 562.3 square miles (1,456.4 km2), it is the fourth largest of the main islands in the Hawaiian archipelago, and the 21st largest island in the United States. Known also as the Garden Isle, Kauaʻi lies 105 miles (169 km) across the Kauaʻi Channel, northwest of Oʻahu. This island is the site of Waimea Canyon State Park.
Waimea Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is a large canyon, approximately ten miles (16 km) long and up to 3,000 feet (900 m) deep, located on the western side of Kauaʻi in the Hawaiian Islands of the United States. Waimea is Hawaiian for reddish water, a reference to the erosion of the canyon's red soil.The canyon was formed by a deep incision of the Waimea River arising from the extreme rainfall on the island's central peak, Mount Waiʻaleʻale, among the wettest places on earth.
Geologically the canyon is carved into the tholeiitic and post-shield calc-alkaline lavas of the canyon basalt. The lavas of the canyon provide evidence for massive faulting and collapse in the early history of the island. The west side of the canyon is all thin, west-dipping lavas of the Napali Member, while the east side is very thick, flat-lying lavas of the Olokele and Makaweli Members. The two sides are separated by an enormous fault along which a large part of the island moved downwards in a big collapse.
The canyon has a unique geologic history—it was formed not only by the steady process of erosion, but also by a catastrophic collapse of the volcano that created Kauaʻi.
Like the other Hawaiian islands, Kauaʻi is the top of an enormous volcano rising from the ocean floor. With lava flows dated to about 5 million years ago, Kauaʻi is the oldest of the large Hawaiian islands. Roughly 4 million years ago, while Kauaʻi was still erupting almost continuously, a portion of the island collapsed. This collapse formed a depression, which then filled with lava flows.
In the time since, rainwater from the slopes of Mount Waiʻaleʻale have eroded Waimea Canyon along one edge of the collapse. The cliffs on the west side of the canyon are composed of thin lava flows that ran down the surface of the Kauaʻi volcano. On the other side of the canyon, the cliff walls are built from thick lava flows that pooled in the depression. Over time, the exposed basalt has weathered from its original black to bright red.
Waimea Canyon State Park encompasses 1,866 acres (7.5 km²) and is a popular tourist attraction on the island. It provides a wilderness area with numerous hiking trails. It can be accessed from Waimea on Hawaiʻi state road 550, which is 18 miles long and leads up to Koke'e State Park. The island of Niihau, only a short distance west of Kauai at that point, can be clearly seen from the highway

Transcript:
The rural, slow paced setting of west side Kaua‘i is set amongst a dramatic backdrop, with rich red soils and an arid environment that makes it a distinct ecological area of the island. This off the beaten path region contains one of the world’s most famous attractions, and also has a lively arts scene, shopping, and dining, where traces of cultural traditions remain.
On the way to the west side, you’ll also pass 3,100 stretching acres of coffee, which is the largest thriving farm in both Hawai‘i and the United States.
The quaint town of ‘Ele‘ele is home to Port Allen, which is a major location for boat tours of the breathtaking Nā Pali coastline.
Known as the “Biggest Littlest Town” on Kaua’i, the festive Hanapepe has an unmistakable architectural flair found in the shops and storefronts. As the art capital of the island, its vivacious history and creative edge make this locale well worth a visit. “A colorful, charming west-side town, Hanapepe has more art galleries than anywhere else on
Kaua’i.”
After exploring Hanapepe town, the neighboring Salt Pond Beach Park is a cultural cornerstone. The area is named for its Hawaiian salt collecting tradition, and is located next to the only natural salt ponds on Kaua’i. “The protective crescent-shaped cove makes it a great place for families to swim or snorkel, and it also remains a great surf and wind-surfing spot.”
Situated at mouth of the Waimea River, Fort Elizabeth is another historic landmark on the west side. Commonly known as the Russian Fort, built in 1817, this area is open for self-guided tours.
Stained with deep red sediment, the Waimea River flows into the highest elevation wet-forest in the world, Alaka’i Swamp. “Meandering through the scenic Waimea Canyon, this Kaua‘i river is just over 12 miles in length, and is one of the longest in the state.”
The town of Waimea, which translates as “red fresh water,” is founded on the flood plain of the river. Famously known as the site of Captains Cooks arrival to the Hawaiian Islands in 1778, Waimea Town is a historic Kaua‘i gem.
Waimea resides at the foot of one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders of Kaua’i. Waimea Canyon is a geological masterpiece of distant gorges, green valleys and flowing streams draped in layered lava rock. “Waimea Canyon is considered to be the grand canyon of the pacific.”
At fourteen miles long, one mile wide, and more than 3,600 feet deep, this iconic natural wonder encompasses the adjoining Waimea Canyon State Park and Kōkeʻe State Park. Traveling up the winding canyon road, the increasing elevation reveals chilly breezes, and an alternate ecosystem with sugi pine trees, regal koa forests, and native bird species, like the bright red ʻapapane.
Encompassing 4,345 acres, Kōkeʻe State Park has nineteen hiking trails to explore. Poised on a plateau between 3,200 and 4,200 feet, the park also has numerous overlooks that dot the road, like the picturesque Kalalau Lookout. “The overlook offers a view from over 4,000 feet above sea-level, where you can see for miles into the lush valleys and mountain seascapes.”
Kekaha Beach Park is the last lifeguarded western beach, with faraway views of the forbidden Niʻihau Island.
Signifying the beginning of a world renowned seventeen mile contiguous stretch of golden sand, Polihale is just beyond Mana Village and a (five mile long) dirt sugarcane road. “The longest beach in the state of Hawai’i, Polihale State Park features scenic views of the majestic Nā Pali coastline, magical sunsets, and sand dunes reaching 100 feet.”
Despite the enchanting allure of this famous beach, strong currents with no lifeguard make it very dangerous for swimming and other ocean activities. This beach is extremely hot, with clear days and little shade by the shoreline.
Experience the west side of Kaua’i, a treasure of island history, arts, and distinctive shopping and dining tucked away in the spectacular natural splendor.
