Stretched across nearly 2 miles of Koko Crater in the Windward
Coast region of Oahu, this hiking trail features more than 1,000 steps made from abandoned railroad ties. At the trail's summit, visitors will find panoramic vistas of Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve and Diamond Head State Monument. Recent hikers cautioned that the Koko Crater Trail is steep and difficult to traverse, so travelers who are not in the best of shape may want to hike elsewhere. Many also stressed the importance of coming prepared with plenty of water, sunscreen and hiking shoes. What's more, some suggested visiting on a dry day since some parts of the trail are slippery, especially when they're wet. Others recommended arriving early to avoid crowds and peak temperatures. Those who don't mind the challenges that come with hiking this trail will be rewarded with "spectacular" views at the top. 🙋Download the HelloTalk app to join the conversation.
