It was much warmer than the previous time with pretty views of Catalina.
It was still cloudy/hazy but really stunning too.
The coastline/shoreline is more visible this time around and yes, we hiked down to the beach.
Sherri scrambled down like a mountain goat while I carefully walked down since I was carrying my camera gear. :)
The sand looks so inviting but it really soft and your feet sink quite deep which makes walking difficult.
Then to the left of the beach are these gorgeous rocks with Catalina in the background.
and further to the left, a fisherman.
We continued to the left up another trail which led to a lookout point here..
and another higher lookout up there!
Very peaceful and serene. We walked up to the main trail that is paved and came up to another trail leading back down to the beach.
The trail is marked challenging and at the very bottom is a small tent with umbrella.
Here is the camp set up closer. That pile of branches/dried kelp is another shelter/alcove that's a rustic living area. with a rock chair. The tent was zipped up so I have no idea if there was anyone in there or not. I don't think people are supposed to camp overnight but it looks like this person has established him/herself there.
This is the rocky beach to the right of the campsite. Very isolated today and that lone fisherman is way off in the distance.
The challenging part for me was climbing back up this trail but I made it! ;)
