Waipiʻo Valley is a valley located in the Hamakua District of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. It was the capital and permanent residence of many early Hawaiian kings.
A steep road leads down into the valley from a lookout point located on the top of the southern wall of the valley. The road has an average grade of 25% and even steeper grades in some sections. This is a "paved" public road but it is open only to 4 wheel drive vehicles. It is the steepest road of its length in the United States. The steepest streets (22nd Street and Filbert Street) in San Francisco have lesser grades than this road!!!
The shore line in the valley is a black sand beach, popular with surfers. Several large waterfalls fall into the valley to feed the river which flows from the foot of the largest falls at the back of the valley out to the ocean. The valley was the site of the final scene in the 1995 movie Waterworld (starring Kevin Costner).
