Welcome to the Koko Crater Trail page. If you have been on the trail feel free to share your experience and add photos.

Koko Crater is on the east side of Oahu in the Hawaii Kai neighborhood. The hike takes you from the Koko Head District Park at the bottom of Koko Crater to it’s summit. The trail isn’t very long, about 1K (1100 yards) but the challenge is the elevation rise of 1,200 feet. The top of Koko Crater provides an awesome 360 degree view of eastern Oahu and the Pacific which makes the hike worth the effor

Wishing you all a terrific spring! Remember to stay careful while on the trail. Stay hydrated and go at your own pace.

“I knew that I needed to be somewhere that I could impact those tough decisions, but I didn't immediately go to Congress. You know, honestly, when I came back home to Hawaii, I wasn't sure how or where I would make an impact. I was looking at a few opportunities with different organizations that were working on foreign policy and veteran issues. After that first deployment, I began serving as a legislative aide to Hawaii's (then) U.S. Senator Dan Akaka, who was chair of the Veteran Affairs Committee at the time. He's a World War II veteran, as was his partner, U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye, a Medal of Honor recipient, who served in the famous ‘Go For Broke’ 442nd Infantry Division, the most decorated infantry division in the Army's history. The all Japanese division was formed because the rest of the military didn't want to serve with Japanese Americans. Working in Washington for Senator Akaka as he chaired the Veteran Affairs Committee was a great learning opportunity for me, and I was able to bring real time experience to some of the decisions and policies that he was pushing forward. As anyone who serves knows, even the best of ideas that trickle downhill become yet another death by PowerPoint. Everybody's signed in, somebody had this great idea, and we have to listen to this PowerPoint presentation. But really, is it achieving the impact that was intended? No, not at all. I was able to share my very recent experiences having just returned from a deployment, or having just gone through TAPS, etc. Especially as Guardsmen and women, the redeployment transition, what services are offered, and so on and so forth. Giving them that honest feedback that they weren't getting from the VA or from the DoD was very helpful.” — LTC Tulsi Gabbard (Army, OIF Veteran) @tulsigabbard 11/21/2023
