Haiku Stairs

The Haʻikū Stairs, also known as the Stairway to Heaven or Haʻikū Ladder, is a steep, steel step structure. It provided pedestrian access to former U.S. Navy communication facilities on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii with more than 3,000 steps along O‘ahu's Ko'olau mountain range. The pathway has been

used as a hiking trail at various times but was closed to the public in 1987. The city council voted to remove the stairs in 2021. On April 10, 2024, city officials announced that the removal of the stairs was to begin at the end of that month.
