Spiral staircase near the summit |
TOTAL TIME: 45 min
DIFFICULTY:Cry baby
PARTICIPANTS: Myself
REHIKE VALUE: 0
I ran this one right after Makapu'u Lighthouse to complete "Useless Hike Day." While Makapu'u surprised me, this one was as gay as it gets. I opted to park at the community college to avoid paying the atrocious $5 parking fee and run up from there. As my luck would have it, I had to freaking run back when I found out it cost me a buck just to get in. Not a good start in my hiking book.
Tunnel built to provide direct access to the crater floor |
You'll see a lot of this on the way up |
Stairs add 'some' diversity |
There’s nothing to say about this one. Extremely touristy (if that's even a word) and super easy. Boring even. Good views of Waikiki. Great for postcard pictures. On the other hand, the crater rim looks reeeaaaaaallllly juicy, but most of it is on restricted federal land. Most of the pillboxes are actually occupied by armed guards for seemingly no logical reason whatsoever. Possibly to keep super awesome people like me out. Bummer.
