Trans Catalina Thanksgiving Extravaganza

Hey there.

Some say Thanksgiving is all about family. We tend to agree. But we also know that not everyone has a family to hang out with on Thanksgiving. If that sounds like you, guess what? We’ll be your family! On Catalina! Along with the fluffy, island bison we will likely see (disclaimer: wild bison are not to be cuddled, they WILL stomp you).

That’s right, we’re charging Catalina for Thanksgiving, the beautiful island getaway, just 45 miles from our dear old SC. We’ll be heading up on the first Wednesday of Thanksgiving break and hiking the infamous Trans Catalina trail across the entire island before returning on a Sunday. We’ll see the island’s beautiful landscape, gaze off at the beautiful pacific ocean, and get to know the local flora and fauna (foxes, bison and eagles oh my!). Overnight, we’ll camp on the beach, make smores around a campfire, gaze at the stars and maybe do some art if ya’ll are into that. We’ll be logging some miles too, our longest day is over 15 miles so bring some durable boots and be prepared for some serious trekking. Previous backpacking isn’t required but given the difficulty, please fill out this form if you’d like to join us so we can get to know your hiking experience. Deadline to apply is Nov 1st!
