I love this picture because not only does it show the beauty of the island of Oahu, but it also is a testimony to the payoff of a physically demanding hike. It isn’t the toughest hike, but it does take effort. Standing at the summit, I felt pride in my accomplishments, but I could also understand why the people of Hawaii care so deeply about their islands. Something I noticed instantly since landing in Honolulu was how much pride the people of Hawaii have for their home and standing atop Diamond Head I was able to relate to that feeling for the first time.
