RAINBOW FALLS, JUST OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS OF HILO, HAWAII 

 Hilo is not only the second city of the Hawaiian Islands and the chief port of the largest of the 

 group, but is also the gateway to Kilauea (next to Mt. Katmai the largest active crater in the world), 

 Mauna Kea, the highest mountain peak, and Mauna Loa, which recently gave a spectacular exhibition 

 of volcanic activity. Hawaiian rivers are small mountain torrents, rising and falling with the rains, 

 but the hills back of Hilo sometimes have 250 inches of rain in a year, and when the river is at flood 

 Rainbow Falls form a striking picture and their thunder can be heard throughout the city.
