Diamond Head State Park
Oahu's most recognized landmark is known for its historic hiking trail, stunning coastal views, and military history. This broad, saucer-shaped crater was formed about 300,000 years ago during a single, explosive eruption. The 0.8 mile hike from trailhead to the summit is steep and strenuous, gaining 560 feet as it ascends from the crater floor.
