Koke'e State Park
Koke'e State Park is an extension of Waimea Canyon State Park and boasts the deepest parts of the canyon.
Another major spot is the Kalalau Lookout which in theory offers a view of the Napali Coast cliffs, the only place to see this spectacular feature of Kaua'i from land. The problem is that these cliffs are often clouded in mist.
Koke'e also hosts over 43.5mi/70km of hiking trails, most of which spread out from the natural history museum and Koke'e Lodge. The Lodge serves breakfast and lunch.
