Mt. Olomana Trail (Three Peaks)

Mt. Olomana Trail, also known as Three Peaks, is a demanding ridge hike located near Kailua on Oahu. Hikers scale sharp green peaks using ropes and narrow ledges to reach breathtaking 360-degree views of the island's Windward Coast. While the first peak offers rewarded views for experienced trekkers, proceeding to the second and third peaks requires extreme caution due to sheer drop-offs.
