The site on Oahu, Hawaii is well known to offer one of the most gorgeous views in all of the island state — and that’s saying a lot. The U.S. Navy originally built the stairs as a way to access communications facilities along the ridgeline of mountains above Haiku Valley.
But they were eventually closed when they became simply too risky a proposition for hikers. Now, an unlawful visit can be punishable by six months in jail!
But danger and risk attracts a certain kind of person. And now someone has set up a new diversion at the site that is no doubt riskier than ever… and travelers are sharing Instagram snaps so prove they’ve done it.
