If you've taken the 6+ hour flight from the mainland to get to Hawaii, you should be able to find an hour to do this Oahu classic. Early morning view was beautiful.

If you can live with the throngs of tourists, this is a great walk with outstanding view.

Vacation hiking
Walked in from Waikiki. Fun hike with great views. There were not to many people at the summit but a lot were coming up. Great day only a few clouds and I would recommend this to anyone in the area

Climbed this one a lot from 1978-1982 while at Pearl Harbor. Back then it was "unknown" and very private. Views of Waikiki and Kahala are the best on the island.

interesting being inside an extinct volcano! the stairs weaving through sections of the mountain made for a unique experience and the view of honolulu from the top is first-class!

Main TrailThe summit views are pretty great. However, I wouldn't suggest going out of your way for this - there are better hikes to be found.
