Kalaupapa Trail — Rebecca Ford Like

Riding a Mule Down the Kalaupapa Trail in Molokai, Hawaii

Meet your new furry best friend, climb atop his back, and let your mule trek begin. You'll slowly descend one of the highest sea cliffs in the world the surf crashing below to the remote town of Kalaupapa. The nearly three-mile trail, with 26 switchbacks, winds through a national park, introducing you to one of Hawaii’s most unexplored areas—and for good reason, it was once a leper colony. After reaching Kalaupapa, you'll take a tour of the historical sites, including the gravesite of Father Damien, the priest who served the island’s outcasts.
