Hike with us through 50 years! July-September Victory Hikes
Last quarter, our outings leaders and volunteers had a great time sharing with everyone some of Sierra Club of Hawaiʻi’s greatest accomplishments through Victory Hikes statewide. We visited Wiliwilinui on Oʻahu, Māhāʻulepū at sunset on Kauaʻi, Wailua Iki and Hāmākua on Maui, and Oʻoma through the Ala Kahakai Trail on Hawaiʻi Island.Each Victory Hike celebrates the club’s past, present, and future efforts in building, protecting, preserving, and/or improving a particular area. We encourage you to attend one or more of these outings and bring along friends to join in the celebration and learn about the club’s efforts and successes. See more of each Group’s outings here. See you on the trails!

O‘AHU GROUP | Sunday, August 12 - Maunawili TrailThe O‘ahu Group was instrumental in the construction of some of O‘ahu’s most popular hiking trails in Maunawili. The Maunawili Demonstration Trail was built in 1991-1993—the Sierra Club O‘ahu Group built the first 9 miles of the trail and the Boy Scouts and Marines finished the last mile into Waimanalo. The O‘ahu Group also built the Maunawili Falls Trail in 1996 and spent an additional summer in 1997 improving the first 2 miles of the demonstration trail. The next year, the Group also developed an additional connector trail.
