QuaintQuest+Followhiking the stairway to heaven: worth the risk?I woke up at 4 a.m. just to beat the crowds and try the famous Stairway to Heaven hike in Oahu. My knees were already complaining before I even left the hotel, but I was determined—everyone online says the views are unbelievable. We drove in circles for half an hour trying to find the right entrance, only to realize the trail is technically illegal and guarded. I couldn't help but wonder, is it really worth sneaking past the signs and risking a fine just for a few photos? I mean, the sunrise over the mountains was breathtaking, but the anxiety of getting caught kind of ruined the magic. Has anyone else felt torn between adventure and following the rules, especially when you’re not as spry as you used to be? #OahuHiking #StairwayToHeaven #TravelDilemmas #Travel160Share
