Introduction

Haiku Stairs, the 'Stairway to Heaven', is a steel stairway of about 3,922 steps climbing the Ko'olau Range ridge on Oahu, built in WWII for a military communications station and later abandoned. Closed unofficially since 1987 due to danger and neighborhood opposition, trespassing brings fines; official reopening talks are ongoing and legal tours may one day return.
