Easily Hawaii's most-recognized landmark, Lē'ahi, or Diamond Head, is the unmistakable profile you can see to the east from Waikiki. It got its name from Westerners who mistook the calcite crystals in the summit crater for diamonds. Lē'ahi is surrounded by almost 500 acres of Diamond Head State Monument, which is open only from 6am-6pm. If you are not a Hawai'i resident with Hawai'i ID, you must make advance reservations online before you visit; entry is $5 per person for non-residents, and $10 per vehicle if you are driving.

This is a scenic lookout on the way up to the Lē'ahi (Diamond Head) trailhead. Walking to the trailhead is a great way to avoid the parking crush, especially since there's a bus stop not far away. Just beyond this lookout you'll enter the Kahala Tunnel, the customary pedestrian access to Lē'ahi. Keep in mind that unless you are a Hawai'i resident with Hawai'i-issued ID, you'll need advance reservations, which can be made online for $5 per person, plus $10 per vehicle if you're driving to the trailhead: https://gostateparks.hawaii.gov/diamondhead Also of note, the park is only open from 6am-6pm, and the last reservation for the day is at 4pm.

This is not for everyone. It is very hard, and one should be fit to enjoy it. It is not like walking up a hill; on a trail one can choose the length of their step. Walking up railway ties, that is not an option. Walking up requires strength and wind, walking down requires not being exhausted from the walk up, and a pair of very strong knees. Again, this hike is only for the fit.

Be sure to make a reservation in advance. Stairs also have to be managed. The view makes up for it
