'Iao Valley State Park

When Mark Twain saw this park, he dubbed it the Yosemite of the Pacific. Yosemite it's not, but it's a lovely deep valley with the curious 'Iao Needle, a spire that rises more than 2,000 feet from the valley floor. You can take one of several easy hikes from the parking lot across 'Iao Stream and explore the junglelike area. This park has a beautiful network of well-maintained walks, where you can stop and meditate by the edge of a stream or marvel at the native plants and flowers. Locals come to jump from the rocks or bridge into the stream. Mist occasionally rises if there has been a rain, which makes being here even more magical. OPEN: Daily 7-7.
