water falls

beautiful

It is a very beautiful place but be prepare for a long hike to get to the falls. It is well work it though.

I grew up in Washington State. Had many birthdays at the Space Needle and had many adventures at the Farmers Market!

Surfrider Victory: Carry out plastic bags are banned at city retailers.

Portland is definitely my weekend getaway :)

I love this place!

October!!

March 2012

Somehow every time I've made this drive I've screwed up and ended up driving at night...and yet somehow it was still stunning. Not a ton of diversity in it (not like you'll be going through lots of towns or residential areas), but it's still gorgeous.

PCH for me is home. Yet every time I drive it, I catch my breath at its beauty, changeable nature (in color, sounds, reflections) and true majesty. It is practically in my back yard but something I never take for granted.

no words to explain

awesome!!

Here's what happens when charged particles meet high altitudes, you get what the Crete American Indians referred to as a "Dance of the Spirits."

We drove past...i wish we had stopped...

fascinating

You may have to bring your wellies but with scenery like this, who cares?

on the geologist's tour list!

A great day out. Relaxing spaces in the midst of chaotic L.A.

Wonderful!

beautiful!!!!!

Bezaubernd

This gorgeous area is located far north in the rugged peninsulas of Scotland and originally navigated by Nordic Vikings. Did someone say Vikings? Rugged? Yes. I like that.

Of West 16th Street

Lucky to work across the street from the market

I can do this soon.

Black sand beach!

This is going to be awesome!

A great place to have breakfast (or any other meal), outside lanai, right on the water. Great view and good food.

This is one that I don't believe I've stopped at, but if you're having a casual drive around to Hilo, it may be a nice stop. It's just outside of Hilo.

2013 trip w/family - day visit

Grab a freshly baked pastry and a hot cup of coffee at Grandma's Maui Coffee House. The coffee is grown, harvested and roasted by the staff. Check out the 100-plus-year-old roaster.

Good place for breakfast.

Short hike near town to waterfall. Worth doing!

pretty cool to see red sand, but there are often naked people there.

Awesome tour and the worlds largest maze!

first time I had salt on a fresh picked pineapple.

best place on the island

I love Four Seasons hotels. They never disappoint. The Maui location goes beyond all expectations.

Easy drive from the Mauna Kea. One of the more beautiful views on the Big Island. Take highway 270 until it ends. There is a small car park where you can take in the view. If you want some exercise, there is a good hike down the valley to the black sand beach at the bottom. The drive out thereEasy drive from the Mauna Kea. One of the more beautiful views on the Big Island. Take highway 270 until it ends. There is a small car park where you can take in the view. If you want some exercise, there is a good hike down the valley to the black sand beach at the bottom. The drive out there is interesting... you go through a couple of small Hawaiian towns (Hawi is an interesting place with art galleries, etc.). If you do this, on the way back from the lookout, instead of taking the 270 back along the coast, when you enter Hawi, make a left on either the Kohala Mountain Road or Highway 250 (they merge a couple of mile from the turnoff from the road through town), and take that to Waimea (then you can take the 19 right down from Waimea to the Mauna Kea). This is a great little drive... you drive through rolling hills and ranches with views out to the Pacific and Maui. We stumbled across this route and loved it. Totally different than the drive along the coast.… see moresee less

This is where Captain Cook was killed by the Hawaiians. The northern part of the bay (where Cook was killed) has a marine reserve with good snorkeling, an underwater plaque on the spot where he fell and a monument on the land.

The northern part of the bay (where Cook was killed) has a marine reserve with good snorkeling, an underwater plaque on the spot where he fell and a monument on the land. The only way to get to the reserve/monument is by boat/snorkeling tour, a pretty steep hike down, or by kayak from the car park on the southern end of the bay. We rented kayaks from some locals near the car park and kayaked over (it used to be illegal, so you'd have to be hush-hush about it). Also, there's some stores up on the highway near Captain Cook that rent stuff (but not sure how you get them down to the water). If you have time, this is a cool snorkeling option with the history and all, but if you don't have as much time, the Two Step/Place of Refuge option (see tips below) is more user-friendly.… see moresee less

you got that right. I've also swam with them at the bay where Two Step is, next to the Place of Refuge. May be the same pod.

is this where the so-called Spinner Dolphins are? knowm jumping and spinning?

great place to have drinks and watch the sunset. Get there early. Seems like it's always crowded. there are tables that look right out onto the ocean.

This is an all day activity. It's a long drive. I've had a few couples almost ruin their relationship because they didn't realize how long the drive is.

Beautiful drive, many stops along the way

Technically this is closed but if you get there before the guards show up you're good. Not surprisingly this is known as the "Stairway to Heaven".

Haiku Stairs - Hawaii

Beautiful setting. Dine on fish caught that day. Still talk about the granny smith apple tart with ice cream and caramel sauce.

I'm very curious to find out who caught the opah and what type of bait or lures they used.

Went straight here upon landing-- fresh opah and ahi grilled with papaya. Delicious and a beautiful setting- great way to start the trip! -Cynthia
