Hawaii: The Aloha State

Made up of a large island chain, the Hawaiian Islands were added as an America state in 1959. With the ease of modern air travel, tourism became the islands' chief industry. Its surrounding clear blue waters, majestic mountain peaks, dramatic waterfalls and lush tropical forests draw over 20 million tourists every year. The chain's seven distinct islands share their history, beautiful multi-colored sand beaches, museums, golf courses and a wide variety of parks.
Hawaii's seven national park sites acquaint visitors with its ancient volcanic past, as well as its recent history.
