We went up right away in the morning to catch the sunrise colors. It is definitely a bit of a workout but the views are worth it. It took us about an hour and a half with plenty of time at the top taking lots of pictures. Once we got to the bottom my mom wanted to turn around and go back up already :) …

I didn't make it to the summit - only about halfway up - my back just said -"no thank you" so after getting about half way up (that's my story) I had to give it up - but i did get some good pictures from where I did get to of the Marina and a portion of the Haunama Bay Nature reserve . which was closed at the time, …

This one is a toughie. Exercise, hydrate and don't skip breakfast for this one. Pack some energy bars, bring plenty of water and stretch before the hike. Not recommended if you have bad knees, ankles or back. Eventhough is a rough trail the views from the top make up for it! Challenge yourself and enjoy the beautiful sights of O'ahu from above. Happy Hike!…

Demanding trail is more difficult than it first appears. The base starts fine but further up it can get difficult with the climb and the trail condition.

Are you up for challenge? This hike is one of my favorite for sunrise hike. The park is open 6a so need to park outside if planning to come earlier than that. Don’t forget to bring your flash light. It is approximately just over a mile round trip with a 1180 feet gain elevation to the summit. The stairs is about over 1 thousand steps and once you pass the bridge, the incline becomes more steeper. This will test your stamina and endurance. Good for cardio workout. Though, once you reach to top, it is very rewarding. Panoramic view of the windward side including Hawaii Kai up to Diamond Head. Just about 360 degrees view rather. Stunning view of the sunrise. Just a reminder, always stay safe and pay attention to your surroundings; don’t get too close to the edge. When climbing the stairs, pace yourself; you’ll get to the top eventually. And hydrate.…
