Ever thought about thru-hiking on an island!?<\/p>

Lucky for you, California has its very own lighter on distance but heavy on the ocean\u00a0views booty booster thru-hike. The traditional route starts in Avalon and finishes up close to 40 miles at Two Harbors. If you’re looking to have a good time on trail, I highly suggest my way. *wink wink*<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Parsons Landing campground is one of the more challenging sites to reserve because there are only 8 campsites. You’ll want to book this one first and work your trip around it. Since the general and popular way is to finish at Parsons, this may give you a slight advantage at booking but only if you’re\u00a0flexible with your dates and can start on a weekday. I’m not sure how you weekend warriors snag Parsons so quickly! Beginning at Two Harbors will have you taking on the loop of the trail first. Choose your path. Or pick your poison. Starting day 1 with a smooth relatively flat fire road alongside the coast is a nice warm up day. Strolling into Parsons Landing is always a treat. Firewood, a starter, and water is available to order for this site. It is delivered to the lockers there and will be awaiting your arrival. You\u2019ll most likely see the truck pass you by on the road and have this urge to see if they\u2019ll pick you up. They won\u2019t! I may or may not have tried! This peaceful cove of the island has some of the best sunsets. For my early morning risers, you’ll thank yourself later for taking on that huge incline back first thing in the morning. Arriving back to Two Harbors means washrooms and grabbing a bite to eat before your last push to the next camp. Go easy on the beers because you still have one more climb on this day.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Decisions, decisions. If you’ve\u00a0got the luxury of time, I would add a stay at the Two Harbors campground sites. They, too, have breathtaking ocean views. Plus, you can have drinks at the general store or restaurant with safety in mind. You are minutes away from walking back to your tent.\u00a0 Little Harbor campground has quite a bit of sites, including group campsites and outdoor showers. You can order firewood with a starter here as well. Shark cove is a sweet secluded minimal set of sites right on the beach. The bison do roam all over these areas as well so be aware of your surroundings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the third day of Catalina, that bison burger is in sight! You’ll head out and up to make your way to The Airport in the Sky. The homemade cookies are FIRE! I always buy extra in hopes to bring some home for my mama, but they never make it on the boat home. I blame hiker hunger. BlackJack campground is about two miles across from where you’ll devour bison burgers accompanied with some bomb fries. This is where tour guides make a pitstop and you’ll find the rich folks privately flying here just to grab a bite to eat (Hello y’all, I’m single). You can also catch a ride into Avalon here for a fee if an emergency takes place.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After descending almost 3k in elevation on your final day, you’ll pass through a campground called Hermet Gulch. Finding a little piece of heaven, that is the trail marker 1 sign is such a celebratory moment. Knowing you’re\u00a0minutes away from the best Buffalo milk at Luau Larrys. You can even stop at the Catalina Conservancy store to learn more and purchase some highly deserved TCT merch.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I personally recommend\u00a04-5 days to complete this trail. Yes you can absolutely complete it in a shorter amount of time but please remember things come into play to affect your daily hiking. I enjoy a good suffer fest but this trek deserves more time on the island and you deserve more time away from your office desk. Logistics and time of year will also design your thru-hike. In summer, there is a ton of daylight but also next to ZERO shade on this island. I will say the Catalina Conservancy has added a couple of big trellis benches along the island which provide scenic 360 views to chow down on some mountain house\u00a0meals for a lunch break. For your mental state- do not look for these sweet resting spots once you exit off the boat. During the off -season, you may have less daylight, possibly cooler temps (lets not get ahead of ourselves, this is still Cali weather). But fewer and later boat times may contribute to logistics as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Catalinas campgrounds have water resources from spigots but please always call for the most current and up to date information about each campground. There are fox boxes at a couple of the campsites but I opted to bring my mini BearVault canister to store my food and smelly items. I wasn\u2019t about to have my gear ripped into by rodents. And I have a love for all these cute critters and my food and items put them in harm. So the least I can do is carry my can to keep them out and safe.  There are a couple of points you can choose to finish your hike or bail out in case of emergencies (we have ALL been there. So please don’t ever feel bad). There are clean pit or vault toilets throughout these campgrounds (this is thru-hiker luxury). Mark your calendars and set your alarms for midnight on New Year’s day. Because that’s when the sites become available online to start reserving for that new year. Best of Luck to everyone and remember to practice Leave No Trace. And of course to leave all wild life alone. Bison do roam this island, they can be skittish and charge you if you mess with them. So keep your distance and always respect all animals. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sparks spattered the edges of the fire ring as I stoked the fire on a recent family camping trip. The temperature dropped as the sun slid behind tall pines, extending shadows over our site.

Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as S.A.D, Seasonal Depression, or casually referred to as the Winter Blues, is a temporary shift in mood that can be attributed to the season (literal, not metaphorical) you\u2019re in. Environmental factors like lack of sunlight, lower activity levels, and discomfort from the weather can contribute to depression that is alleviated when those factors are eliminated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Seasonal Depression can begin at different times for different people. Weather patterns will impact when you start feeling your symptoms. So can your location on the globe. Typically, people further south have a shorter window for SAD to set in than people to the north.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Treating Seasonal Depression can involve prescription intervention, especially if you have other mental health treatments already underway. Talking with your doctor is a good idea. Many people find, as I have, that SAD responds well to certain lifestyle modifications. Light therapy, herbal and vitamin supplication, and embracing activities that bring joy are helpful when dealing with extended hours of darkness and weather we may not enjoy as much.<\/span><\/p>

There\u2019s another treatment available in one way or another. Let\u2019s talk about the profound impact that <\/span>Nature<\/span><\/i> can have on mental health. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

You know that feeling of validation when you check your FitBit\/NewestEquivalent and find out that yes, you <\/span>HAVE<\/span><\/i> hiked 2 miles longer than your trail app told you you would? That\u2019s how I feel when science backs up my own experience of Nature\u2019s impact on mental health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A psychoanalysis named Erich Fromm coined the term \u201c<\/span>Biophilia<\/a>\u201d to encapsulate the phenomenon of humans gravitating toward other living things. Now, we have \u201cbiophilic design\u201d in architecture, attempting to bring more of Nature into our living spaces. That\u2019s great and all\u2026 but it\u2019s easier to get ourselves outside, don\u2019t you think?<\/span><\/p>

The ways we can engage with Nature are endless. Hiking and camping are two of my favorites, obviously. But even simple, 10-minute walks to spot birds, hear the wind in the trees, or identify random plants help me breathe more freely when life has me wound up tight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I\u2019ve found that dragging myself out of bed to walk 14 miles around our local lake is the best treatment for the \u201cBleh\u201d of late January. Something about being around water is calming and invigorating at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Science agrees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Over the past decade or so, <\/span>several studies<\/span><\/a> have routinely indicated that time spent in nature shows measurable improvements in mood, self-esteem, energy levels, and overall well-being. Both green spaces (parks, forests, trails, etc) and blue spaces (lakes, beaches, waterways) work. Even within variables like socioeconomic status, geographical location, and other factors that generally play into mental health studies, results are consistently positive across the board, varying only in degree. The reason is simple.<\/span><\/p>

We. Are. Nature.<\/span><\/p>

Refusing to forget that fact by regularly communing with Her can play an important role in supporting our mental health during the time of year She goes dormant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Cultures around the world orient themselves around the rhythms of Nature, and I think we\u2019d be wise to do the same. We\u2019re part of Nature ourselves, and it\u2019s okay to slow down and take it easy through the winter.<\/span><\/p>

But we\u2019re not bears! Our bodies may get depressed or lack vigor, but our metabolisms don\u2019t slow down for hibernation. We have to find ways to utilize the seasons\u2019 offerings to bolster our mental health. When the Winter Blues come to call, resist the urge to hibernate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Here\u2019s how to face the elements and embrace the healing power of a hike.<\/span><\/p>

  1. Wear Layers\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    It may be tempting to just throw on the heaviest thing you own and head outside. But as your core temperature rises with activity, you\u2019ll need to be able to shed something without becoming too exposed. Avoid sweating when it\u2019s cold outside because sweating is your body\u2019s way of dropping your temperature <\/span>fast\u2026<\/span><\/i> which can become a problem when you\u2019re on the trail. Layering up lets you determine the appropriate level of insulation from moment to moment.<\/span><\/p>

    2. Drink Water<\/span><\/p>

    If you\u2019re anything like me, ice in my water is a way of life. But when air temperatures drop, keeping your core temperature up is critical. Avoid ice, but don\u2019t avoid drinking your water. It\u2019s still important to hydrate, even when it\u2019s cold. Drain that Nalgene.<\/span><\/p>

    3. Stay Alert<\/span><\/p>

    Wearing a beanie can mean your ears are covered. That can make paying attention to your surroundings hard, especially if you tend to zone out on the trail. But it\u2019s important to stay alert. Watch for icy patches to avoid falls, and remember that predators can still be active<\/a> during winter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    You can take your SAD treatment to a new level by hitting the trail for days at a time. Spring may <\/span>seem<\/span><\/i> like the best option for backpacking, but every season has perks. Winter offers a bug-free experience and open trails with fewer campers to arm wrestle for your favorite sites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    One word of caution on this note\u2026 you may be tempted to think you don\u2019t need to use your BearVault during <\/span>hibernation season<\/span><\/a>. That would be incorrect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Besides the fact that park regulations don\u2019t change from season to season, you also have to contend with the fact that hibernation itself is changing. Warming weather patterns, disruption of their natural habitats, and slim harvests during hyperphagia season are causing a trend of disrupted and shorter hibernations in bears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    You can\u2019t assume that a winter backpacking excursion to cure your Winter Blues will be bear-free. But you shouldn\u2019t let that prevent you from waving goodbye to your dark bedroom and finding a trailhead. Just keep up your regular bear-aware backpacking precautions and be on your merry way!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    1. Keep Attractants Locked Up<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

      Use your BearVault to keep <\/span>todo<\/span><\/i> attractants safe. That includes things like deodorant, toothpaste, sunscreen, and empty wrappers. A hard-side container is a <\/span>requirement in many locations<\/span><\/a>, regardless of when you visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      2. Bring Bear Protection<\/span><\/p>

      If you happen upon a bear awake in the winter, you\u2019ll want to be prepared. Are you more likely to have a negative encounter? I can\u2019t say! But it\u2019s safe to guess that an awake bear is awake for a reason. It could have been disturbed awake, putting it in defensive mode. It could be up to find extra food, so it could be extra interested in your pack. Either way, having bear spray handy (and knowing how to use it!) will keep you ready to drive it away.<\/span><\/p>

      3. Sleep Separate from Food<\/span><\/p>

      Don\u2019t keep your food in the tent with you. You should be cooking away from it, too! No need to bathe your sleeping quarters in the aroma of chili, right? As soon as your evening meal concludes, lock up your BearVault and leave it 70 paces away from your pillow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      As I type this, I\u2019m cozied up in a coffee shop, sipping a latte and enjoying the low-light mood. It\u2019s autumn, after all\u2026 my favorite season of all! But touch base with me in 3 months, and I\u2019ll be over it, yearning for spring. The grey will have gotten to me, and the cold will have me muttering under my breath as I head out to do the chores on our little farm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      BUT\u2026 I\u2019m setting my intention now. This winter, I\u2019ll continue the treatment I\u2019ve found works best. Daily strolls to immerse myself in Nature, training myself to appreciate Her beauty in every form and embracing the rhythms She offers.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Primero dejemos de lado los encuentros mortales con osos. Cuando un oso mata a alguien, se generan noticias sensacionales y muchos clics en las redes sociales. Probablemente por eso sorprende a la gente escuchar que s\u00f3lo ha habido 180 conflictos fatales entre humanos y osos en Am\u00e9rica del Norte desde 1784.

      El territorio del oso negro cubre un \u00e1rea m\u00e1s grande que el de cualquier otra especie de oso. Se estima que hay alrededor de 900.000 osos negros en Am\u00e9rica del Norte. Su territorio se extiende por al menos 40 estados, y s\u00f3lo faltan las zonas de llanura hacia el sur y el oeste. Como era de esperar, esto significa que es mucho m\u00e1s probable que te encuentres con uno de ellos que con un oso pardo o polar.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \u00a1No necesariamente! Desde 1784 se han producido 66 conflictos mortales entre humanos y osos por parte de osos negros salvajes.

      De modo que la mayor\u00eda de estos conflictos fueron de naturaleza defensiva. Por lo general, eso significa que un humano se top\u00f3 con el oso de repente, pero tambi\u00e9n puede incluir cosas como un perro que ladra y lo hace sentir amenazado. Simplemente haci\u00e9ndote ver y escuchar y mantener a tu perro bajo control<\/a> Es una estrategia tremendamente exitosa para evitar cualquier encuentro.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
