The most popular of Hawaii's forbidden trails. The Haiku Stairs have been closed to the public since 1987, but it hasn't stopped adventurous hikers from making the climb. The trail winds through the Koolau Mountain Range. The trick is to find parking in the local residential area and arrive early in the morning before the security guard arrives. The guard arrives at a different time each morning, but you should get there before 6 AM. Once you've found the trail entrance (near the small security guard tent) you will not be turned back. Bring water and a flashlight. The hike is not too difficult, but it is long. If you're looking for something off the beaten path, this is it. Your hike will involve sneaking through the Hawaiian foliage with a flashlight in hand, avoiding a lone security guard, and then climbing a dilapidated U.S. Coast Guard stairway through the beautiful Koolau Mountain Range. (WARNING: Go at your own Risk!)
