By , About.com Guide

Molokai, Hawaii is still an unspoiled treasure, with no buildings higher than three stories. These photos will show you that this small Hawaiian island has lots of terrain for adventure travelers who like to hike, bike and swim in waterfall-fed pools. Take a mule ride or hike down the steep almost 1,800-foot high cliffside to Kalaupapa National Historic Park. Here, you'll learn more about Father Damien and the former leper colony.
