Another issue with those stairs is that there's no place to park your car to walk to the entrance point. The entrance point is in the woods behind a neighborhood. The neighbors get pissed off when people park their cars on their street or if they see you walking through their neighborhood with backpacks on.

There's a road to get to the entrance point, but it's gate off and only the security guards can use it. If you go do the hike you have to make sure the security guard is not sitting in his truck underneath the interstate overpass.

If you go to good maps and type in "Ke Kula 'o Samuel M. Kamakau," look east and you will see the security truck by the H3 overpass.

I did it in 2014 on a 7 day layover courtesy of your tax dollars. It's a good hike, you need to be in shape before tackling it. The view is well worth the effort.

We had someone drop us off and pick us up. The guard was there, but once he found out we were military, I'm mean AF, not military, he let us go up.
