O’ahu’s Controversial Stairway to Heaven Set for Demolition
Recently, the Honolulu City Council made the decision to remove the Haiku Stairs, popularly referred to as the “Stairway to Heaven.” Originally constructed by the US Navy in the 1940s to serve a radio station, these stairs have evolved into an unofficial tourist destination that attracts thousands of adventure seekers annually. However, it is crucial to note that these visitors often trespass on private residential property to ascend the 3,000-plus stairs that run along the Koolau Mountains.
