Diamond Head Hike & Asian Farmers Market

Today, we started our morning off by a short bus ride to Diamond Head Summit Trail to hike with our classmates and professor! After the hike, we attended a local Asian Farmer's Market that is only held on Saturdays!
The Diamond Head Monument is comprised of 475 acres of land that include the interior and outside slopes of the crater. This crater was formed almost 300,000 years ago during an explosive reaction. The trail into the crater and to the top of Diamond head was built in 1908 and is a .8 mile hike from the trailhead to the summit.
Diamond Head is one of Hawaii's most iconic geological features that this state has to offer! The purpose of this monument is diversify and improve the experiences of visitors, community organizations, and the general public. The goal that the DLNR (Department of Land and Natural Resources) has for Diamond Head is to increase public awareness on improvements around the crater along with gathering input on access in and around the crater.
At the Asian Farmers Market, there were many small "acts" that showed us how this state is improving on how sustainable they are. These farmers and small businesses practice things such as not using plastics, growing their own produce and then selling it. On our end, we are also supporting these sustainable ways by buying local and supporting green businesses.Read more
