The Haʻiku
Stairs, also known as the Stairway
to Heaven or Haʻiku
Ladder, is a steep hiking
trail on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii. The total 3,922 steps span
along Oahu's Ko'olau mountain
range. Beginning in 1942, contractors for the United
States Navy began construction of
the Haʻiku Radio Station, a top secret facility that was to be used to transmit
radio signals to the Navy ships that were then operating throughout the
Pacific. Source
