The Haʻikū Stairs, also known as the “Stairway to Heaven” or “Haʻikū Ladder”, is a steep hiking trail on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii.

If you read all of the story the information about when it was built and why it was closed is there…
Oh wow! I wonder why it is forbidden.
Yes, people still hike it but they’ve tried to block them as much as they can!
I suppose it must be dangerous. Maybe people have fallen.
