After ascending a little further along Waʻahila Ridge Trail, the views keep getting better. After a steeper section, you will reach that viewpoint with a great overlook over the city. Far in the distance you can even see Diamond Head, the landmark of Oʻahu.

This is the steepest section of the trail just before it tapers off and you start your descent. From here you can see almost the entirety of the southwest coast ranging from Honolulu to Diamond Head.
