Today, our family decided we wanted to hike to the top of Diamond Head Crater. This Crater was formed 300,000 years ago. It's shaped like a broad saucer, and was formed during a single eruption.
As the materials settled and compacted, they created the crater. Most of the vegetation and birds were introduced in the late 1800s to early 1900s.
As we hiked the 1.5 mile round trip trail, we had many good views of the valley. We also got many good looks at the sea and of Waikiki. It was worth the rigorous hiking and the stair climbing. There were 271 stairs to climb, and we gained 760 feet in elevation. But it was worth it. You could see out into Waikiki out to the other end of the island. Some of the the graffiti written on the side of the wall was right: it said, "You made it! Enjoy!"
