STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN






At 3:00 am we woke up to hike the Haiku Stairs (stairway to heaven). It closed down to the public after a few death incidents, so in order to go we had to sneak in when the guards were off duty and we wanted to watch the sunrise. The hike consists of 4,000 stairs straight up a mountain ridge. We all felt like we were climbing a ladder. It was hard but very rewarding and beautiful when we finally reached the top. It was an experience of a lifetime! It has a really interesting back ground, google it for more information.

Wow, looks amazing and hard! I googled it. It says it closed down due to vandalism not deaths? Did you get that from the locals or something? Anywho you girls are awesome!
