There were a lot of tourists on the trail. Sometimes we had to wait a bit before we could continue with our hike.

A view of the water on our way up to the top.
Part of the trail went under these dark tunnels. I had to hold onto Emily's hand so I knew where to go since I had my sun glasses on.
These are the steep steps that almost lead all the way up to the summit.
Here is a view looking down of the spiral staircase that took us to the very top of Diamond Head.
Here is the helicopter landing to at the summit.
The paramedics on their way to help the lady at the very top.
Here is a picture of the second lady coming down the mountain in a little basket.
There were some pretty sweet views from the top. This is a shot looking west at Waikiki. You can see some of the beaches that we were at our first few days on the island.
That green space is a park, with a zoo and an ampatheature to boot.
All of the hi-rises in Honolulu reminded me of being back in Korea. Where are the Parks???
We've made it to the top!
Emily really liked this lighthouse. You can see the coral reefs in the water.
It would be pretty sweet to live in a house right on the ocean.

Never travel without a snack! We hiked up Diamond Head too. Mostly it was hot, but I remember thinking it was pretty easy (though there were others who certainly didn't think it was easy). My dad did it with cracked ribs (from surfing the day before), but had to rest because of the pain in his chest.
Those are pretty snazzy shorts that Neil has on. Are those the ones that will be the father son look alike? Sounds like an eventful day.
