The 2010 Los Angeles County Coastwalk celebrates the first Trans-Catalina Trail 37-mile traverse! The TCT is a newly completed trail across the entire island from East to West and it will be a vigorous adventure for experienced, very fit hikers.
Beautiful and remote Catalina Island holds many pleasures: unspoiled beaches; striking interior mountains and geology; native plants; wandering bison; a sense of history; and colorful Avalon Bay. We’ll cover many miles, but still have time to relax, swim and kayak. Other exciting events are planned such as a tour of the USC Research Center where we may be able to visit their decompression chamber and learn about important ocean research projects.
The TCT routes take us along towering bluffs overlooking the turquoise Pacific Ocean and the Catalina Channel and through the rugged interior of the island. Trails range from old farm roads to rocky, steep climbs and descents. Some years we have quietly walked between herds of buffalo. Bands of pink quartz and green jadeite intermingle with tiny, rare island succulents and indigenous plants.
The Trans-Catalina Coastwalk is rated strenuous because of the high mileage covered each day, the need to be able to carry a large amount of water and the elevation gain/loss. Weather this time of year is usually pleasant, but Catalina is truly a desert island, dry and exposed. This event is not suitable for children, and walkers must submit recent hiking and fitness history.
Camping each day will be at group campsites with primitive facilities. Showers are available on four evenings. As with other classic Coastwalks, gear hauls will transport our camping gear between campgrounds and we will be able to cook dinners in camp. On the last day, there will be time for some fun shopping to load up on souvenirs in the quaint town of Avalon before departure on the ferry back to San Pedro.
Maximum enrollment is 16.
