stairs

Haiku Stairs (or otherwise known as the "stairway to heaven") is located on the Kaneohe side of Oahu and now closed to hikers. The stairs were riginally used to access longwire radio antennaes high above Haiku Valley and stretch about 1/2 mile long and over 4,000 steps.

I was out in the back yard admiring a garden snake that's found a place by the (Home Depot) fountain, thinking, "that's cool." I'd plopped in a few flowers a few days ago.

HARDLY! You live in a place beyond comprehension- it's so stunningly beautiful.

Sally--Those stairs look beautiful from above but I'd bet they look very painful close up!

Amazing, Sally. What a great photo. Reminds me, a little, of my climb up Diamond Head last year. I sure that doesn't even compare.

Sally - another excellent photo ... my only question would be were you airborne when you took this shot or did you climb another mountain without stairs. The angle of the photo appears to be from above

Wow Sally a half mile of stairs. Now that would be a work out! It is beautiful and the green of the vegetation on the mountain is amazing.

Sally - what a great photo - and it does look like quite a climb on the Haiku stairs. I like the name "Stairway to Heaven".

Love the title, but it think about half way up I would be regretting my decision to embark on that journey.

This is very pretty! When we took a helicoptor tour of the island we saw many lush spots like this from above. I think though, after trying to be physically active in recent months, that would be a fun hike. A half mile doesn't seem so bad, but the elevation could be a killer.
