My Island Paradise: Little Harbor Santa Catalina Island


Ahhh...love my Island Paradise. I got sea sick on the ways to the Isthmus but got over it as soon as we hit the Harbor. My good warm smiling friend Melissa was working the Two Harbors camping Check-In Desk. I made a mistake in the reservation date but she fixed me right up in site #7 with its new canopy. Thanks Melissa!!
After check in I filled my 3 liter Camelbak with ice and water and hit the trail to Little Harbor (LH). The weather was a bit hot but it was a comfortable hike with one stop made under a small tree shade. Didn't see or hear from the quail friends as usual, they must have moved else where for the summer.
Saw Wilson (the buffalo) near the water hole laying around flapping his tail in bliss. I guess he didn't feel like harassing anyone today.
I felt a blister coming around into the last mile that slowed my upbeat pace but it turned out to be a bunched up portion of the sock near the ball of my foot.
Arrived at campsite, set up tent and hammock took a cold shower and swung in my hammock. I arrived!!

Hiking and Camping at Little Harbor was Paradise!

Little Habor, Catalina (Hike-in). Paradise! My "Moon's, California Camping", book was right and then more. It's rated a 10 and exceeded all, if any, expectations.

I arrived through Two Harbors which is a beautiful little harbor and pier. The people were very pleasant. I had a bite to eat at the little restaurant. The Kobe hamburger was killer!

When entering the Little Harbor, the little harbor ocean view opened up beautifully. Amazing place with fantastic and grand views. It has everything, swimming, hiking, kayaking, fishing, and other naturalist thing to do.

There is just too much to mention. Ranger Gilligan is the Ranger for this site as well (Blackjack). Again, the coolest down to earth guy you can BS with and he is very informative and helpful.
