Compared to Diamond Head trail, this is a shorter hike but the beginning of this trail is steeper and involves more climbing. Stepping sideways when coming down the parts w/ lots of gravel helps a ton
Worth getting up early to do a sunrise hike here! Absolutely gorgeous. Short hike, but steep. Be careful if it’s been raining, as the trail will be quite slippery.

The trek up to the first bunker is the hardest part. Going to the second bunker is much easier. Just take your time, watch your footing, and you'll be fine. Enjoy the views!
