Hiking Waimea Canyon

Day 9 (Feb. 16)-- Today we are going to Waimea canyon to take a hike. It looked beautiful. It was a 2 mile hike. It was really muddy. I was covered in mud. Then we went to a restaurant called the camp house grill. My grilled cheese was excellent.

Here is a view from the hike.

Science- -The Waimea Canyon is 10 miles long, 1 mile wide and more than 3,500 feet deep. The canyon was formed by the rivers and streams carving it over thousands of years.


Here is a Hawaiian monk seal. They are endangered and there are only 1200 of them left. When the seals are tired, they come up onto the beach to rest.

Social Studies- In the late 1880s Dole family imprisoned the queen with the help of the U.S. marines. So the Dole family became one of the five ruling families. The Dole family brought over farmers from China, Puerto Rico, Korea and Philippines to plant sugar cane. And that is how sugar cane came to Hawaii.
