The Start of our Hike
Hawaii is without a doubt a beautiful place. One of the most famous hikes around Hawaii is the hike up to Diamond Head. Diamond Head is a volcanic crater that provides an amazing panoramic view of Waikiki for simply a bit of effort. The trail is roughly a 1.6 mile hike round trip. My friends and I started the hike in the morning with our hiking shoes on, and a large bottle of water.
Halfway There!
The first half of the hike was a piece of cake, and consisted of a dirt and rock trail. After the lookout, it required a tad more effort by climbing a 74 step staircase before heading into a 225 foot tunnel. After the tunnel was another 99 steps up. Then you proceed down a short tunnel, and go up three floors around a spiral staircase. Once you exit the Fire Control Station Lookout, then you know you are almost there! Just 54 more steps...and you see views like this......
