These walls are all that remain of a Russian fort on Kauai south of Waimea which was built in 1816 using local laborers.  The Russians had hoped to establish a presence in Hawaii but ultimately were expelled from the island in October 1817.

A couple of tourists at Kalalau Point!

Here's a closer look at the volcanic formation seen from Kalalau Point.

This is the view to the sea from Kalalau Point.  You can see why Kauai is called "The Garden Island" due to its lush vegetation and amazing volcanic origins.

Here's a closer view of this amazing waterfall!

This is a view of the amazing Waipoo Falls in Waimea Canyon.  The water drops over 800 feet!

Here we managed to capture a helicopter flying in the canyon.  We don't know whether or not it was part of the filming crew that required that no moving vehicles by on the roads for a 15 minute period.  Thankfully we had stopped for a stretch at a picnic area in Waimea State Park so we just enjoyed the area until police told us we could once again drive.

Here's a slightly different view of the canyon taken from an overlook.

This amazing place is Waimea Canyon.  It's beauty is spectacular!

We've arrived at the State Parks area.
