I think the top of Diamond Head is about 760 feet above sea level. It is a difficult climb at times but so worth the effort. π

There are lots of places along the trail to step aside to rest for a bit. My excuse was usually, βAh, look at the view! I have to stop and get a pic.β π

I think it was in 2000 that my husband and I went to Hawaii for our anniversary. We ran across the start to this trail not realizing where it lead. What a treat when we made it to the top! And, we picked up a little certificate along the way to prove it! Beautiful photo!!

Yes! It was in 2005 (I had to look it up) and I remember it being in a little alcove just before we hit the top. “I Climbed Diamond Head and Survived” 271 steps it says. I think we had to pay $2 for it π

PS: My husband twisted his ankle on the way back, near the bottom! He ended up in the room with his foot on ice and I went down and went shopping!
