Hiked up into and up Diamond Head on Sunday with Eliza. Diamond Head is an inactive volcanoe crater on the southern end of Oahu. It is the famous natural site from Waikiki Beach.
Eliza and I walked to the State Monument (Park). You enter the crater through a road tunnel. Inside the crater is like a jurrasic park feel. There are military buildings but it seems so desolate and foreign.
You hike up a well-maintained trail that includes handrails and some very steep stairs to the highest point of the crater -- some 760 feet up. You actually end up inside a WWI bunker, climb through the gun slit and up to the top of the bunker.
They warn you of the strenuous climb but that it is possible for anyone. It is not an easy hike and there were some folks I questioned whether they would make it or not.
Great views once on top. It was an overcast day for us but still quite spectacular.

Looks a bit clowdy day on the pics but i am sure the hike was worthy. It is a great way to see the island from the top.
