The steps were originally made of wood and were installed in  1942 so that the U.S. military could string antenna cables from one side  of the cliffs to the other for low frequency radio communication. They  were later replaced by concrete in the 1950s after the Naval base was  decommissioned and the United States Coast Guard took over the site for  their Omega Navigation System. The station and the trail were  closed to the public in 1987. Hiking is illegal, yet hundreds of daring  hikers ignore the “No Trespassing” signs and start early morning to  avoid guards stationed at the base in order to walk along the mountain  ridge. “Haiku Stairs isn’t the most difficult hike on the island, but the  amazing views and the sheer drop offs on either side of the ridge make  it one of the most memorable”, said David Chatsuthiphan to UnrealHawaii.com.At  the top of the peak, one can still see the antennas that transmitted  200,000-watt radio signals that could communicate with submarines as far  away as Tokyo Bay while the submarines were submerged. The signals  could be picked up even in India, 10,600 km away. The local  people have been pressuring the government to open the stairs to the  public, but the government says it would be cost prohibitive to keep the  stairs in safe condition. <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-rz323OZdv8k/Ur5ywQf9moI/AAAAAAAAuuo/12uJH568_e8/haiku-stairs-2%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0WqtCkikIAw/Ur5y02is7NI/AAAAAAAAuuw/RntKw1VQA1Q/haiku-stairs-3%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yoW-9Ghb83M/Ur5y3-_r3BI/AAAAAAAAuu4/tZo0U61VHLo/haiku-stairs-4%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yoW-9Ghb83M/Ur5y3-_r3BI/AAAAAAAAuu4/tZo0U61VHLo/haiku-stairs-4%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bXz-P6jscl0/Ur5y8SOWGEI/AAAAAAAAuvA/9tmGobv1H-s/haiku-stairs-5%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-j-LrjuJEINQ/Ur5y_P8DVKI/AAAAAAAAuvI/jY8gzmqzy1o/haiku-stairs-1%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ybUyMVHXHao/Ur5zCcCDJ-I/AAAAAAAAuvQ/t894qrnaiHo/haiku-stairs-6%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Xl0HhaZMbBk/Ur5zHgpkPTI/AAAAAAAAuvY/w9AWHQSp8wk/haiku-stairs-7%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
