Hike to Diamond Head

While on the plane on our way over here we created a list of things that we would like to do before we headed back home. There were quite a few activities and attractions on the list and one by one we have been checking them off. One item was to hike Diamond Head Crater. So last Thursday we hopped on the bus and headed into town. The weather had been pretty mild all week and of course the day we chose to hike was a scorcher. We entered the crater and it was a desert, so different from the rest of the island. The hike was not that long, only about .8 miles one way but the incline was unreal. We were making jokes at all the people coming back down the mountain who were drenched in sweat. Little did we know what we were in for. We made it halfway up and all of us were soaked in our own sweat. Really attractive I know. We decided the view from up there was worth the effort and the breeze at the top was not bad either.
