For those following this thread that have not been into Waipio valley here are a few links to pics that might give you some sense of what we are talking about. The first is https://www.etsy.com/listing/80419136/dawn-patrol which is a (approx) 345 degree panorama of the beach, river, and view of the back of the valley, at sunrise. Another, at https://www.etsy.com/listing/80424942/hiilawe-stream was taken on the main road in the valley right where it crosses Hiilawa stream.
