Waimea Canyon, also known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific", is a large canyon, approximately ten miles (16 km) long and up to 3,000 feet (900 m) deep, located on the western side of Kauaʻ i in the Hawaiian Islands of the United States.
 Waimea is Hawaiian for "reddish water", a reference to the erosion of the canyon's red soil.
 The canyon was formed by a deep incision of the Waimea River arising from the extreme rainfall on the island's central peak, Mount Waiʻ aleʻ ale, among the wettest places on earth.
Waimea is a common name in Hawaii and New Zealand.
 In Hawaiian, it means reddish water, but in Maori it has no meaning.
