A view of Waikiki from Diamond Head.
Historic Trail to the summit:
The trail to the summit of Leahi was built in 1908 as part of the U.S. Army Coastal Artillery defense system. The trail scaled the steep interior western slopes of the crater to the summit The dirt trail with numerous swichbacks was designed for mule and foot traffic. The mules hauled materials on this trail for the construction of Fire Control Station Diamond Head location at the summit.Other materials were hoisted from the crater floor by a winch and cable to a point along the trail. The Kahala Tunnel was built in the 1940s and is the public entrance to the crater.
Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for a safe and leisurely round-trip hike, the tunnel gate closes at 6:00PM and reopens at 6:00AM. |
