Stairway to Heaven
by The_Eagle

 
The Koko Crater Railway Trail is on the southeastern edge of Oahu, Hawaii. It is an example of man's engineering prowess and a challenging hiking trail.


The Koko Crater Railway Trail was built during World War II. The U.S. military established Camp Koko Head, a coastal defense installation. The now iconic "Koko Head Stairs" were once used by soldiers to transport supplies and ammunition to the mountaintop. 1,048 uneven and steep steps will test your endurance and provide panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding areas.

The hike begins at Koko Head Regional Park. As you climb the stairs, the views open up to the surrounding area.

At the summit, you are rewarded with views of Hanauma Bay and the eastern coast of Oahu.

If you are adventurous enough, you can also include the route around the rim of the crater.
