"...a helicopter ride over the Huleia River where Steven Spielberg filmed scenes for Raiders of the Lost Ark, down into "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific" - Waimea Canyon - where a nervous mountain goat clings tenaciously to a sheer wall. Then Lambert, the pilot, says he has a surprise for his passengers. Like a scene out of a movie, the chopper clears a sharp ridge. There is a sudden 3,000-foot drop into the ethereal valleys of the Na Pali coast. Dino DeLaurnetis' King Kong lived here. The chopper swoops around Mount Makana, Bali Hai of South Pacific, and into the crater of Mount Waileale, the rotors swirling the rains of the wettest place on earth." --Thomas Smith in his book "In the Long Run"
