Outings Philosophy
Sierra Club Outings were started in 1901 by Club Founder John Muir. He was convinced that the best way to persuade people to fight to save valuable wild areas was to take them into the wilderness and let them experience for themselves the beauty that needs defending.Here in Hawaii the Sierra Club has been leading hikes and service projects since 1968. For over 40 years, outings have been conducted weekly in the islands, perpetuating John Muir’s philosophies.
When you come on a hike with the Hawaii Chapter you will join like minded people and get intimate with Hawaii’s unique landscapes, geology, and endemic species.Experienced Sierra Club Trained Outings leaders will guide you through any number of ecosystems and landscapes, teach you about the natural and cultural history of the area, and lead you to some of Hawaii’s most spectacular summits. Come join us and meet new people, let go of the worries of the world, get outdoors, connect with nature, and nourish your soul! The Journey is the destination!Click on Each Island to see the current Outings Schedule, contacts, and details.
