Hawaii - Driving Kauai - Up Waimea Canyon

Driving up Waimea Canyon along Hawaii Route 550 (Waimea Canyon Drive & Kokee Road). It's a long drive up the mountain with a few gorgeous lookout vantage points. Be sure to get to the top before clouds and rain set in. We arrived at the last lookout just before the rain and raced the wall of water down the mountain road stopping quickly for a few photos along the way. The photo interludes have been inserted where we took the photos (at least per our recollection).

Thanks for watching. I enjoy these memories as well.

Drove that road in 1980, I have never forgotten it. I was terrified but it was worth the view.

What's terrifying about this road?

Great video.

[@EpicTripAdventures]

Such an cool place. We visited recently and it was amazing!

Drove this route two weeks ago. There were several bike riders out that day going up and it took forever. The road is so narrow and none of them offered to pull over. We had a very similar day weather wise but extremely windy.

Bikes would have definitely kept you from reaching the top before the weather obscures the valley.

Narrow road!

I don't think it's safe to be driving that fast.

[@DDubMedia]

LOL Neither do I. :)

[@richarddortch1319]

DDubMedia Well at least everyone else was driving just as fast.

I don't recall the multiplier used on the timelapse, but you can Google map the drive and get a rough approximation. You definitely want to get up quickly to beat the afternoon fog and/or rain. You can always take it slower on the way back down.
