OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This easy roadside stroll traverses a flat
plateau with awesome views over the western
rim of Waimea Canyon and offers a nice
sampling of Hawaii's indigenous and endemic
plants. Interpretive signs identify the
plants and explain their medicinal and
ancient cultural uses. Its a great
introduction to some of the plants you will
spot on other trails........ |
