The view at the top is amazing! But getting there is a challenge even for those who are in shape. Bring water, a strong heart, willing legs and a camera! The bridge is a little scarey if you are afraid of heights, but the rest of the trail (stairs) are fairly easy to navigate. The day we went there were... More

The 1,048 railroad tie "steps" uphill are a real challenge, but very worth the effort! You need to be in good shape, and definitely take water with you and take rest breaks along the way.

My husband and I did this hike on a recent morning while staying in Waikiki. We're a pretty active couple, but it looked very daunting upon approach.
