Catalina Trip

[quentinc]

I just did a 4 day backpack on Catalina Island (just off the coast of LA).

It was starting to green up from all the rain (although it will be really nice in a couple of weeks):



The view from some of the ridges was like a poor man's Hawaii:



As was this beach campground:



And the cove it was in:







There was a beautiful sunset on New Year's day:







And wildlife you don't see in the Sierra:



And views of snow-capped mountains on the mainland:



Rest of the pictures are here:

The beach campground shot really does look like it could have been taken in Hawaii.
Thank you for sharing them Q, I will have to get out there one day.

Fascinating, thanks for the interesting post.

thanks for the post. I very much need to get to this place (mainly because I want to see the geology there).
