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:

Re: Catalina Trip
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.

Re: Catalina Trip
thanks for the post. I very much need to get to this place (mainly because I want to see the geology there).
Since my fishing (etc.) website is still down, you can be distracted by geology stuff at: http://www.fresnostate.edu/csm/ees/facu ... ayshi.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
