Hiking the Trans-Catalina Trail isn’t just about epic views (although yes, those too). Today is National Trails Day. So why not celebrate by walking from one end of Catalina to the other? catalinaconservancy.org/recreation/h... #hikingadventures #catalinaisland #transcatalinatrail

Last week we hiked the wonderful 38-mile #TransCatalinaTrail across #CatalinaIsland, off the coast of southern #California. We did this 12 years ago, but this time was even more beautiful and memorable. Check out my photos and journal from the trek here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/tran...

Looking forward to doing this again soon! Here's some pics from the wonderful 45-mile #TransCatalinaTrail on #CatalinaIsland in #California, from 12 years ago. I wonder if it has changed much since then? See more pics and my original trip report here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/tran...

Dreaming of paradise.

Grateful to have experienced this trip but the devastation that followed our departure from LA is heartbreaking. How quickly things can change. Hug your loved ones, remember what truly matters and never take a day for granted.
