值得降雨的彩虹(A rainbow that’s worth the rainfall)

怀美亚峡谷，有时被称为太平洋大峡谷，是风景如画的怀波奥瀑布的所在地。流经瀑布和峡谷的水从Wai'ale'ale山下降，这是地球上降雨量最多的地方之一。大约400万年前，Kaua'i火山的一部分坍塌，形成了一个洼地，Waimea河进一步侵蚀到今天的峡谷中。如果你想看到真正的考艾岛，离开海滩，沿着蜿蜒的550国道进入山区。沿途您将看到海岸和峡谷的壮丽景色，然后抵达怀波奥瀑布的了望台。

Waimea Canyon, sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is home to the picturesque Waipo’o Falls. The water that flows through the falls and canyon descends from Mount Wai’ale’ale, one of the rainiest places on Earth. Around 4 million years ago, a portion of the volcanic Kaua’i collapsed, creating a depression that the Waimea River has further eroded into today’s canyon. If you want to see the true variety of Kaua’i, leave the beach behind and take winding State Route 550 into the mountains. Along the way you will see stunning views of the shore and the canyon before arriving at the lookout for Waipo’o Falls.
