Begin your Diamond Head hike in the early hours of morning as it Requires two full hours to climb to the top at an Elevation of seven hundred sixty two feet from sea level. After reaching the top of Diamond Head Crater, That was formed by a volcanic explosion 200,000 years ago, Honolulu and Waikiki are the breathtaking views from The top of the crater, spreading out from the Ko'olaus to the sea. Allow yourself enough time to capture panoramic pictures as Keepsakes of your climb and bask in the beauty surrounding Impressive famous landmarks from the Manoa Valley to the Natural harbour featuring the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Gorgeous amazing views greet the eyes in every direction. *Ko'olau Mountain Range Diamond Head Hike: Diamond Head is the name of a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu and known to Hawaiians as Le'ahi, most likely from lae 'browridge, promontory' plus ahi 'tuna' because the shape of the ridgeline resembles the shape of a tuna's dorsal fin. Its English name was given by British sailors in the 19th century, who mistook calcite crystals on the adjacent beach for diamonds.

Both the picture and the poem are breathtaking, Connie! This poem could be used by the tourism dept to advertise the place! Pity there are so many beautiful places and we don't have the time or means to see them all in a lifetime. ~ Regards // paul

This is great, Connie: Thanks for that history, some of it, I didn't know. We used to hike this every morning before they put the tourist gates on. We would run down...no crowds then. Did you realize your ellipsis marks are showing as question marks. Hugs SuZ. Ko'olaus

I don't know why they are coming out that way SuZ. I will try to fix that. Thanks for alerting me about it. Certain font seems to do that. Thank you for your nice comment. Cheers, Connie

- Really beautiful views, Connie - A green oasis with sea view - Hope not the city grows more and more .... with huge tall buildings, which destroys the beautiful nature - Lovely weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

It is indeed a breathtaking view. If you could ever figure out a way to solve your traffic problem, I might come back for a second look. LOL Love the write, Connie. It's one of those rare things in life which is hard to put into words, simply because it is different for everyone. You can describe the physical beauty but not the beauty seen with the heart. Peace my dear friend, Mahalo:)
