| Colloquially known as `Le`ahi`, the Diamond Head is a gaping crater which was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1936. Framing the fabric of Waikëkë, the crater is riddled with a tracery of vents and volcanic remnants. The name of this crater was coined when English explorers mistook calcite crystals they found there, for diamonds. The historic trail to the 761-foot summit starts inside the crater and is an easy, but steep, 0.8 mile 1.3 km hike to the top. Adorned with craggy corrugations and tufts of sun-bleached grass, Diamond Head affords astounding views of Oahu`s charming landscape, including some exceptional views of its beaches and locales. |
