Santa Catalina Island is a beautiful gem of gentle hills and stark cliffs with wild bison just off the coast of Los Angeles. After taking the 1 hour and 15-minute ferry from the mainland, you’ll arrive in Avalon, the touristy center of the island. The trail climbs up the steep hills, with breathtaking views of the ocean in all directions. The island has very few trees and shade is rare, so be prepared for long periods of exposure to the elements.
Santa Catalina Island, often just called Catalina Island, is located about 35 kilometers off the coast of Southern California. It has a long history, going back thousands of years. Originally, the island was inhabited by the Tongva people, who called it Pimu. They lived on the island for at least 7,000 years before European contact.
