Rainbow Falls is an easy place to sightsee! You just drive up, walk a short paved path, and there it is! A beautiful waterfall! There are flowers and green grass. To your right you can walk up a ramp for a view from a different angle. To your left, climb some steps and you come to a forest with amazing tree roots straight out of a movie! 

Extend your sightseeing by driving five minutes west to Boiling Pots, another waterfall lookout.
These lookouts are in a nice neighborhood. It feels good to get up in the hills above Hilo town and away from the ugly downtown area.
While up this way, run up the hill at University Heights Park, climb down into Kaumana Caves Lava Tube, or do the short yet difficult Wai'ale Falls Hike.
