Stairway to Heaven, as people like to call this hiking trail, is a perfectly fitting nickname. From the top you can see an incredible Oahu Island and peaks that push through mists and clouds. Almost vertical stairs that end at the top Pu'u Keahi and Kahoe, reaching a height of more than 762 meters.
