Kauai: A Many Splendored Island by Douglas Peebles

The ultimate portrait of Kauai, "the Garden Isle." A series of stunning photographs leads the reader from Waimea Canyon, the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," up the Waialua River to the romantic Fern Grotto, past the fields of waving sugar cane to the unspoiled outpost of Hanalei, and finally along the Na Pali Coast, where towering seaside cliffs have been dramatically shaped by nature. A detailed around-the-island guide also makes this informative book a handy companion for the discerning traveler.
