Visiting Diamond Head Hawaii Is Something You Must Do If You Travel by:Jeff Schuman
Do you enjoy taking vacations to beautiful places
? Then you should visit Diamond Head Hawaii. There is a volcanic tuff cone called Diamond Head that is located on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu.It is on the eastern side of the coastline for Waikiki. The thing that makes this monument unique is that it was formed around 300,000 years ago. That makes it one of the oldest monuments in the U.S. and one of the most memorable experiences anyone would enjoy.
This crater is known as a United States State Monument and part of it is used for a platform for antennas that is placed there by the U.S. government. The public can't visit this volcanic crater but its close proximity to the hotels and beaches in Honolulu makes it the perfect vacation destination for anyone.
There is a hike that you can participate in while visiting beautiful Hawaii that will lead you to the edge of the craters rim. This is a 1 1/2 to 2 hour hike. Anyone that decides to enjoy this hike is encouraged to bring water and flashlights.
The hike is said to be an easy one but the trail that is unpaved winds over rocks that are uneven. Plus there are 74 steps going up the trail and then you will go through a tunnel that leads to another 99 steps.
Then there is another small tunnel, which built back in 1908, that you need a flashlight for that leads to a narrow spiral staircase consisting of about 30 steps and is inside the coastal artillery observation platform.
From this vantage point you will be able to see the Waikiki and Pacific Ocean in detail that can not be seen from other areas. This provides you with a unique view that not a lot of people will get to experience in their lifetime.
The sight of bunkers that date back to World War II is another thing that makes the trip memorable. This trail was built in 1908 as a military defense. These are not things that you will find in many places in the U.S. anymore.
So if you want a unique experience to see a natural wonder then a trip to Diamond Head Hawaii is definitely the place for you to visit. Plan your vacation here now because it will definitely be an experience you will never forget.
