Hawaii - Koko Head and Diamond Head

We had the great pleasure of joining our friends Jack and Kelsey on their traditional "Monday Afternoon Hike." The day we joined them they decided to conquer Koko Head Crater. Any sane person would simply say "No. In fact HECK no" when placed at the base of Koko Head. As you can see from the first picture (and it is not manipulated at all) that is a stairway straight to heaven...railroad ties in fact; uneven, non-centered, inconsistent, big-step, huge railroad ties. It was a daunting climb but the rewards were great, as we were blessed with an amazing view of the best sunset we saw on the trip. Needless to say, Ronna and I decided to hike a more commercial hike the next day (Diamond Head).
