Koko Head Hike - Hawaii, Oa'hu

Koko Head Hike - Hawaii, Oa'hu
The trail is only 1 kilometer, but that 1 kilometer goes up a 1,200 foot elevation.  Leave the StairMaster at the gym and hit the Koko Head Hike if you're looking for a great leg workout and a panoramic view of Oa'hu.  There is a small parking lot at the base of Koko Head.  Bring water, sunscreen, and your camera.  Be aware of the 30 foot rail bridge about half way up.  The bridge has wooden planks that you can walk across, but there are spaces between the planks that lead to a 15 foot drop.  Once you get to the bridge there is also a safer path to the right.  It's a hard climb, but the view is one of the best on the island.
