Weather Geography Districts. Waipio Valley (see more photos) on the Big Island's Hamakua Coast is the last and largest of the seven valleys east of the Kohala Mountains. Giant cliffs rising over 2,000 feet (610 m) surround the lush valley and give it an air of serenity, seclusion and mystery. Like many places on the Big Island, getting to the valley is somewhat difficult. If you plan to drive yourself, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended. The one-mile long road is paved, but steep and narrow. Alternatively, you can park at the Waipio Valley Lookout and from there hike down into the valley. Once you reach the valley, there is a black-sand beach towards the right (after a 10-minute walk), which lines almost the entire shoreline of the valley.
Joes Valley Reservoir, located on the eastern slope of the Wasatch Plateau, is a 1,200 acre lake set attractively 7,000 feet up in the forests of the Manti-La Sal Mountains. We are just 13 miles west of Orangeville, Utah on SR 29. Joes Valley is one of Utah's premier sport fisheries. The reservoir contains some of Utah's largest trophy splake and is stocked with tiger trout, cutthroats and rainbows. Above the lake at higher altitudes, above 8,000 feet, there are mountains, meadows and smaller lakes and streams.
