It is a part of the Waianae Range, an eroded shield volcano on the west side of the island. The FAA maintains an active tracking station at the summit, which is closed to the general public and secured by the US Army, which is stationed at the base of the mountain at Schofield Barracks. The tracking station can be clearly seen from afar as a white, domed-shaped structure.
Climbing
The round-trip hike to the summit is a strenuous effort that typically takes 4-6 hours to complete. Much of the trail is steep, heavily foliaged, narrow, and muddy. Some segments of the trail have ropes and ladders in place due to the steepness and slipperiness. The round-trip hike has a distance of 7 miles (12km) and 3600ft (1100m) in elevation gain.[1]
