Overview

Hype:

Kalalau Lookout isn't just another Waimea Canyon lookout, as many first-time visitors often believe. It's a view into the heart of the Kalalau Valley- one of the most-photographed and well-recognized valleys in all of Hawaii. This is primarily because the valley and surrounding coast have served as the backdrop for countless films including "King Kong" (the original), "Mighty Joe Young," "Jurassic Park," and "Six Days Seven Nights." Kalalau Lookout is also the highest elevation most people reach in Kauai by road, at 4,000 feet. Here you will find one of the greatest views in all of Hawaii. Kalalau Valley is the largest valley on the island at two miles wide. Amazingly, it was inhabited up until 1919.

Story

When we visited the Kalalau Lookout, it was extremely cloudy. We waited around for a while, but the clouds didn't clear, so we called it a day.
