HD: Hilo Falls

Hilo Falls from hawaii on Vimeo.

Visiting Boiling Pots and Rainbow Falls along the Wailuku River, and Kolekole Beach Park along the Hamakua Coast, three scenic parks in and near Hilo Town on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The above is the embedded video player from Vimeo, one of the only online video hosts to serve up HD content. To see the HD video (and not a scaled and compressed Flash version), however, you need to view it at Vimeo or download the original movie file (1250x720/101MB/MP4). It should look great on an Apple TV.

You can also watch this video at YouTube, Google Video, and BlipTV (low quality but fast playing). DivX fans can find this video at Stage6 (in HD). And both MPEG-4 and DivX versions can be downloaded from the Internet Archive.

I grew up in Hilo. The ponds behind Rainbow Falls were our favorite place to swim. Getting to these swimming holes before they had the trails was half of the adventure.
