Get ready for a memorable road bike climb up Waimea Canyon Drive on Kauai. As you ascend for about 19 miles towards the Puʻu O Kila Lookout, gaining over 4,000 feet in elevation, you'll be treated to increasingly spectacular views of the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." The scenery transforms from lush greenery near the base to the dramatic, colorful cliffs and deep gorges that make the canyon so famous, with glimpses of waterfalls and distant views of the Na Pali Coast as you get higher. It's a steady climb with stunning visual rewards around every corner.
