Haiku Stairs, also known as the Haiku Ladder, Pali Ladder, and Stairway to Heaven, is a series of galvanized-steel ship ladders that allow access for hikers to the top of Puu Keahiakahoe. This is a mountain on the island of Oʻahu (Honolulu – Hawaii). At an altitude of more than 2800 feet, the top of the Stairs is some 2200 feet above the main building of the now decommissioned U.S. Coast Guard OMEGA Station and about 2,300 feet above the bottom step. Ha’iku is a Hawaiian word meaning Kahili flower.
