Oahu hike

Kaʻena Point on the northwesternmost tip of Oʻahu is the leaping place of souls.

But the trail to the top will be open on weekends.

The Honolulu Board of Water Supply voted to transfer ownership of the land, including the off-limits hike, to the city, which may decide to reopen the stairs.

The city agency that owns most of the land along the hike wants to take down the structure but is open to other solutions.

Short, steep and shady, this Oʻahu trail gives you an unrivaled view of the North Shore.

We spoke to our January/February issue's cover photographer about tips for reaching it and how to best capture the view.
