    Great production Alice . Quick healing on the blisters . Such a special, magical place .
  • Another great video Alice. I grew up in L.A. and have been to Catalina several times. It’s where I met my first love, the sea. Snorkeling at Catalina as a boy changed my life forever. It started me down a path that greatly influenced everything from the day forward. Thanks again for sparking great memories and giving more to pile on my already insane travel schedule.
  • @josephfriel
    Oh my goodness, Alice. This was a fantastic video. The production quality is first rate and the story you told was enticing--personal, beautiful, engaging. It was a solo hike, but not a solitary one. The video portrays you as an entity among nature, not a human conquering it. Well done (again).
  • Beautiful scenery. So much green, the hills above the clouds and fog, the inlets with beaches, the trail running across the ridgeline, etc. If it weren't for the sun exposure and elevation gain, I'd put this high on my must-do list. Props to those of you who can manage this adventure comfortably. Looks awesome.
  • Wasn’t sure about an island trek but you have sold me to add it to the bucket list of hikes. 💪👊🤘
  • What a great video - absolutely captures the experience! Thanks for sharing your journey!
  • @hikebytes

  • @lisalandry9346
    Really great info. Thank you so much for sharing. I am currently researching this trail after watching your wonderful video!
  • The interior of the island looks beautiful. Definitely need to do that hike at some point in my life.
  • @martin_b1628
    Thanks for sharing. I have been to Catalina airport but did not know there is a hiking trail that goes through out the island.
  • @LivingMoreFully
    Excellent video, as always, that gives a very helpful perspective of what it's really like doing this. I'm planning on trying to get my reservations January 1st to do this late winter or early spring 2024. Thanks again!
  • Catalina is so fascinating to me. Really want to go there some day.
  • @marty17f
    Thanks Alice. I always love watching your videos. I was on that trail 3 years ago and I had a great time.
  • Alice, another great hike and video. Thank you. I can never absorb it all in my first viewing, so I'll watch again soon. Dennis
