First of all...no...possibly even hell no.
Not even when I was at my BEST and fittest.
Okay?
But this (like the Koko Crater Rim Trail yesterday), with a clench factor of maybe 11, is virtual so here we go!
Six Part Series of Entire Hike (it is long....but amazing)

The Haiku Stairs, Stairway to Heaven or Haiku Ladder as it is called was built in 1942 by the US Navy to a radio transmitter located at the top of the Ko'olau Mountain Range.
This is "The One Hike to RULE Them All"!
There are 3,922 steps to the top. Across the hills and valleys of the mountain ridge. The naval base was decommissioned in the 1950's and in the 1980's the Trail was CLOSED to the public.
In case you still aren't clear on the concept...it is illegal as hell to slip past the guard and hike this relic. It is considered criminal trespass and carries a fine of $1,000.
So glad that a You-Tube enthusiast v-logged the entire thing.
Another great v-log

Still, so many sneak in (daily basis) and hike the stairs that this April they held a special meeting and are considering removing them all together.
I'm flying, Jack!
Um...still no...
View near the top.
And the view at the very top!
You can see the entire island from here.
There is the city of Honolulu!
