What is the name of this multicolored canyon?

Known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, this canyon is located on the western side of Kauai. It is approximately 10 miles long and 3,000 feet deep.

Its name means "reddish water," a reference to the erosion of the canyon's red soil.

The canyon was created not only by erosion but by a catastrophic collapse of the volcano that created Kauai, the oldest of the large Hawaiian islands.

A state park covers 1,866 acres of the canyon and is a popular tourist destination.
