This 4,000-Step Ladder Offers One Of The Most Beautiful - And Illegal - Hikes In The US
The Haiku Stairs - also known as "The Stairway To Heaven" - is one of the most extreme and beautiful hikes Hawaii (and America) has to offer.
For the last 26 years, the hike up the 4,000-step ladder has also been illegal, but that hasn't stopped people - dozens a day - from making the trek up and down the steel steps that were once operated by the Coast Guard to catch a glimpse of the view at the top of Puu Keahi a Kahoe on the island of Oahu.

Despite making the hike illegal, tourists (and some locals) attempt to scale the Stairway To Heaven everyday.
The Honolulu Board of Water Supply, The Huffington Post reports, "has jurisdiction over the hike and requires that anyone who goes up it sign waivers and present a $1 million liability insurance policy."

They were dying to see the view, and weren't discouraged by heights or the illegality of the hike.
