Climbing the Koko Head Tramline trail has been about more than killing our legs and enjoying the views on the way up. It's about enjoying the views from the top. Those include being able to see over the other side of the mountain.
Koko Head is the high part of the rim around Koko Crater. The view down over the crater and to the beaches behind is phenomenal.
Sometimes there's a shot you want but other people are in it. You can get mad about it, you can wait it out, or you can make them part of the picture.
Or Option (D) is find another spot that's just as good.
From atop Koko Head we could see in all directions. Here's a telephoto shot looking back toward Waikiki. On the left is the Diamond Head crater, which we hiked to the top of on our trip in December. To the right are the skyscraper hotels and residential towers of Waikiki.
Update: You know what comes next? It's like going downhill on a rollercoaster... without the rollercoaster!
