Abundant rainfall creates numerous small flow, the creek, waterfall crept from peak over 2,000 meters steep downward. One section of Mount Waialeale has even been dubbed the "wall of tears" because there are too many waterfalls flowing down on the surface, looks like a face remote tears profusely.
Visitors to the area can participate in the climbing route or visiting the waterfall is impressive than visiting the area by helicopter to panoramic "wall of tears" this unique, special when the weather is clear.
There are many reasons why Waialeale "inspiration" so much rainfall in years. First, Kauai is the northernmost point of the Hawaiian Islands, the rainy climate area, and second, round-shaped mountains and conical tapered tip, wind and humidity welcome from all aspects.
