In contrast to the lush, jungle-like vegetation of most of the rest of Oahu, inside the volcanic crater of Diamond Head or Le'ahi, right at the edge of Honolulu, there is an area that is remarkably similar to parts of the Arizona desert. I am sure that was likely the time of the year when this photo was taken, but the interior of the crater is dry and has a look similar to a mesquite and grass bosque. There is a paved trail from the parking lot to the top of the mountain and there is a constant stream of visitors. The entire area inside the crater was a military base and is now in Diamond Head State Monument.
