Anacapa Island is located 14 miles off the coast from Ventura. It is the only Channel Island to retain its American Indian name, derived from the Chumash word, "Eneepah", meaning island of deception or mirage. Ocean waves have eroded the perimeter of the island, creating steep sea cliffs towering hundreds of feet in height and exposing the volcanic origins of air pockets, lava tubes, and sea caves. At the east end of Anacapa a natural bridge has formed in the ocean. Forty-foot high Arch Rock is a trademark of Anacapa and Channel Islands National Park.




What to see: Sea birds are the most conspicuous wildlife on Anacapa. The largest breeding colony of the endangered California brown pelican is located on West Anacapa. Other sea birds include western gulls and several species of cormorants. The island's rocky shores provide resting and breeding areas for California sea lions and harbor seals. Catch a glimpse of the fascinating undersea world of the kelp forest without even getting wet. During the summer, park rangers dive into the Landing Cove on East Anacapa with a video camera. Visitors can see, through the eye of the camera, what the diver is seeing by watching video monitors on the dock. Pristine tidepools can be explored. Springtime brings colorful flowers, including the strange tree sunflower, or coreopsis, a plant found only on the Channel Islands and a few isolated areas on the mainland. Visit the museum on the island, which houses the original crystal and brass Fresnel lens from the lighthouse.




What to do: Camping, hiking, ranger-led interpretive hikes, picnicking, snorkeling, SCUBA diving, swimming, kayaking, bird watching, exploring tidepools, and getting away from the mainland city-congestion are some of the activities you can do on Anacapa Island.

Ah, that is funny you posted that
I was looking into a bunch of hikes
and found a few that might fit our criteria
I definitly like the island idea
Goes with summer, california

I am thinking July 29-30 Sat-Sun


Parson's Landing Campgrounds
Secluded beach camping
The Parsonâ??s Landing Campground is a secluded beach camping site located seven miles west of the village of Two Harbors. The eight primitive campsites accommodate up to six people each and are accessible only via a moderately difficult hike or kayak trip. Shade structures and running water are not provided; you must pack in your supplies.



BBQ and fire ring
Picnic Table
One bundle of firewood and 2.5 gallons of water are included in your fees. More wood and water are available by advance purchase only.
Directions to Campground
The Parsonâ??s Landing Campground is accessible via a moderately difficult seven-mile hike from Two Harbors or a two-and-a-half-mile hike from Emerald Bay . You can also kayak to the campground. It is 12$ per campsite and site holds 6 people. So, 2$ a piece. Cheap

So, we are looking at a 7 mile hike to and fro
Hike, swim, snorkel, fish

I got some other ones to. One is in the Angeles National Forest and the other in San Gabriels.
How does the 29-30th work for everyone or would you rather go during the week?
Friendowl, when is your vacation? I would be up for a Vegas run during the week.
Let me know. Late

[friendowl]

im down with the camping trip
count me in

where in the san gabriels were you thinking

i believe i got the week off after 4th of july

Camp at South fork camp. Start at the Buckhorn Trailhead. Camp at 6,300 ft among pine and Cedar Trees. Remote. 10 mile hike each way

Mt. Waterman and the Twin Peaks stand guard over some of the most remote country in the San Gabriel Mountains. The San Gabriel Wilderness Area here and the Sheep Mountain Wilderness Area to the east both have a large area without trails or roads, leaving them mostly undisturbed by a human presence. Both areas have significant populations of Bighorn Sheep due to this remoteness.

The countryside is magnificent here, with Mount Waterman and Twin Peaks towering 4000' above Devils Canyon to the West, 4500' above Bear Creek to the East, and 5000' above San Gabriel River Canyon to the South. Nearly the entire San Gabriels can be seen from atop those peaks. The peaks and most of the slopes below them are covered with Jeffrey and ponderosa pine, with incense cedar at Twin Peaks Saddle.

geo i hiked that trail before
this time of year the water is low
and the rangers are always closing
the damn roads cuz of fire danger

the island trip sounds real good

[geonagual]

Yeah, the island trip does sound good
I am not sure if it will be real busy, it dosent matter cause the campground only has 6 semi primitive camping spots
If everyone is down I will reserve a 1 camping spot and that will hold 6 people.
It will definitely be a good time and I have never been to Catalina. Make sure to bring goggles cause I have heard the water is really clear.

Everyone down for July 29-30
