Hype:
The first lookout you come across when you drive to Koke'e State Park is Waimea Canyon Lookout. It's just past the 10 Mile marker on Kokee Rd (Hwy 550). There's a large parking lot so you can't miss it. This first one has a large concrete viewing area and offers a head-on view of the canyon.Time:

We stopped at the Waimea Canyon lookout on our way back down the canyon after hiking to Waipoo Falls and then hiking the Pihea/Alakai Swamp Trail.
