Photos from Sierra Club Outings to Molokai

The photos on this page were captured during several visits to the Island of Molokai, including two Sierra Club Service trips. Service trip work included was performed at the Kalaupapa National Historic Site as well as "topside" in collaboration with the Nature Conservancy. These areas are far removed from the heavy-duty industrial toursim for which the Islands are best known.
