sure thingIf you've taken the 6+ hour flight from the mainland to get to Hawaii, you should be able to find an hour to do this Oahu classic. Early morning view was beautiful.

A good oneClimbed this one a lot from 1978-1982 while at Pearl Harbor. Back then it was "unknown" and very private. Views of Waikiki and Kahala are the best on the island.

Main TrailThe summit views are pretty great. However, I wouldn't suggest going out of your way for this - there are better hikes to be found.
