  • Backpack Trip Because It Involves Coordinating with More Agencies and Resources (Camping, Ferry, Island Transportation)
    Backpack Catalina Distance: About 7 miles Trailhead: Avalon Permit Limit: unlimited Difficulty: Easy (rated 2) Features: Backpacking on Catalina Island is a classic Scout adventure. It requires a lot more planning than your typical Sierra backpack trip because it involves coordinating with more agencies and resources (camping, ferry, island transportation). Still, a great beginner trip can be planned, along with pleasant day hikes or beach time, and Avalon is a fun town for apres-hike souvenirs and dinner. FYI: The new Trans-Catalina Trail that runs the length of the island is really steep and rugged, so keep that in mind if you plan to utilize that trail. Additionally: Fuel can’t be transported on the ferry. Reserve your camp stoves and propane fuel from the Catalina Island Company. The ranger will deliver stoves, fuel, firewood and any other gear you need (and they provide) right to your campsite. Good Beginning Itinerary: Catalina Express ferry service Dana Point to Avalon; Airport Shuttle to B. J. TH Backpack 1.5 m to Black Jack Campground Day hike the Trans Catalina Trail; another night at Black Jack Backpack to Little Harbor via the Cottonwood Trail (5+ miles) or the TCT (7+ miles) Safari Bus to Avalon. Ferry from Avalon to Dana Point; drive home Important Phone Numbers Catalina Island Medical Center Hospital: 310-510-0700 100 Falls Canyon Road in Avalon In an emergency: Sheriff 310-510-0174 911 - call may go to Catalina Island or L.A.; indicate you’re on Catalina Island; GPS coordinates will be recorded Cell phone service @ Blackjack is great; okay at Little Harbor, but excellent from surrounding ridges Resources: Catalina Island Camping: 310-510-8368, M - F, 8 a.m.
