Day 211 - Parson's Landing

Over seven miles and a few blisters later, we made it to our campsite at Parson's Landing.

Day 210 - Texture

I suppose the hike wouldn't have taken as long if I hadn't stopped so often to take pictures . . .

Day 209 - Solitude






















The Silver Peak Trail climbed over 1500 feet in a very short period of time, making the steep entry hike very challenging; we wondered what the fence posts we passed were meant to keep in or out . . .

Day 208 - Prickly Pear

Day 207 - Prickly Pear

The prickly pear cactus, or opuntia, were blooming all along our hiking route and campsite.


Day 206 - Catalina Harbor











Across the isthmus from Two Harbors is the actual Catalina Harbor.

Day 205 - Isthmus Pano







A narrow isthmus connects the small northern part of the island to the larger southern part.

Day 204 - Hiking

After landing at Two Harbors, we set out along the Trans Catalina Trail, taking the Silver Peak Trail up into the peaks of Catalina, before heading down Boushay Road to the campsite.
