Diamond Head State Monument will close for parts of March and April, due to an ongoing construction project meant to help stabilize loose rocks around the tunnel entrance. Visitors interested in hiking Diamond Head will not be able to access the trail when it is closed.
"The safety of our visitors and employees is our top priority," Curt Cottrell, administrator of the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of State Parks, said in a news release. "While the closures may cause some inconvenience, the rockfall mitigation work is critical to maintaining a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone who visits Diamond Head State Monument."
Full park closures are on the following dates: March 4 to 7 and 11 to 14; April 1 to 4, 8 to 11, and 14 to 17. Also, the park will close early, at 2 p.m., on March 3, 10, 31 and April 7, 14 and 18.
