MAS o Menos

Yesterday we visited the Channel Islands National Park. This National Park just outside of Ventura, California does not have an entrance fee like most parks. However, you will need to hire an outfitter to take you to the island which is 20 miles off the coast. We went to the island of Santa Cruz with Island Packers.

On the way to Santa Cruz, we saw 2 whales. Visibility was better than our 2001 whale watching trip in San Diego, but not as great as Maui.

If you decide to visit the island, be sure to pack your food and beverages. There is no snack bar on the island. You also may want to confirm with Island Packers that the boat you will be on isn’t being chartered by 100 elementary school children on their end of the school year act like animals field trip.

We hiked the Scorpion Canyon Loop and the Cavern Point Loop.
