California's New Trans-Catalina Island Trail

“Fog drifted off green hills bristling with cholla cactus and spiced with the scent of sage. The loudest sounds were the songs of meadowlarks. About 600 feet below, the ocean crashed on the boulder-strewn base of steep mountains riven by wind and water. The view lies at the 20-mile mark of the new Trans-Catalina Island Trail.” In the Los Angeles Times, Louis Sahagun describes the brand new 37.2-mile hiking route that traverses Santa Catalina island off of California’s southwest coast.
