![]() The best and most complete review of the Trans Catalina Trail I have read is by Alison on her She Dreams of Alpine blog. It's a one-of-a-kind hike, great trail for a group or to go do solo. Give yourself at least three to four nights on the trail. It should be noted most of this is ridgeline hiking and a challenging 38 miles. Some of the special features of the hike include a restaurant at about the halfway point at Catalina's airport, free roaming buffalos (you do need to keep an eye on them), the village of Two Harbors' amenities, and slack pack services for your gear, food, water and firewood. Each of the campgrounds are unique with three of them right on the ocean. The trail circumnavigates Catalina Island. It has many great hotels, restaurants and a campground near the trail head. If you want a bit of fun, spend the first night in the beach town of Avilion. Once you are in Southern California, you can catch ferries from Long Beach, Dana Point or San Diego. If you are coming from outside Souther California, you have multiple airports to fly into. It does require that you spend a bit of money in order to get there, in reality it's part of the adventure. If you like to hike, but don't want to rough it too much, the Trans Catalina Trail is an experience well worth the effort.
