On Saturday, February 22nd, 2014 my wife and I climbed the stairs to go to the top of Diamond Head in Honolulu, O'ahu. It was beautiful to see from the top of Diamond Head. You could see Honolulu and the beach area. See attached pictures. You pay $5 to park which is way better than walking to the starting point. The trail is about .8 miles one way. It took my wife and I about 1.5 hours to go up and back down. It was a real nice hike. The trail was built in 1908 as part of the US Army Coastal Artillery defense system according to the Hawaii State Parks brochure. The military used it to help protect O'ahu.
