Koko Head Crater - Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii

Koko Crater (Hawaiian: Kohelepelepe or Puʻu Mai) is an extinct tuff cone located on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu near Hawaiʻi Kai. It is a part of the Honolulu Volcanics, which were craters that formed as vents of the Koʻolau Volcano during its rejuvenation stage. During World War II, the U.S. military built bunkers on top of Koko Crater with a railroad leading to its summit. In 1966, the air force ceded administration of Koko Crater over to the City of Honolulu. It was then renamed to the Koko Head Regional Park. Within this park is the Koko Crater Trail, which is a 1.8-mile-long trail that uses the now-abandoned railroad as its pathway. The trail heads up 990 ft and 1,048 railroad cross-ties at a very steep incline, and the views at the Koko Head Crater summit are 1,208 ft above sea level.

The abandoned railway trail can be seen as the faint 'line' up the side of the crater in the photograph above (starts just above the baseball/softball field and ends at the peak of the crater). This photo was taken from the Hawai'i Kai Lookout along the side of Kalanianaʻole Highway.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
