Atop a Koko Head Crater in Oahu, Hawaii. Feb. 2012. It used to be a military outpost with over a thousand steps/railway ties to the top. You may notice a stray bit of feminine-themed graffiti below my feet - not sure if it has anything to do with the lore behind the mountain:

“Koko Crater is also known as Kohelepelepe, which means “labia minor” in the Hawaiian language. It got this name from an ancient legend, which tells of one of the sisters of the volcano goddess Pele named Kapo, who had a magical “flying vagina” that she could send anywhere. When Kamapua’a, the pig god, tried to rape Pele, Kapo came to help her. She distracted Kamapua’a by throwing her vagina to Koko Head, where it made the crater.”
