The Trans-Catalina Trail is a long-distance trail which traverses Santa Catalina Island off the coast of southern California. From the eastern terminus at Renton Mine Road near Avalon to the western terminus located at Starlight Beach, the trail's official length is listed as 37.2 miles (59.9 km). However, both terminuses are several miles from the closest ferry terminal, so hikers intending to walk every step of the trail will most likely end up walking 51.4 miles (82.7 km).[1] Camping is allowed by permit from the Catalina Island Conservancy. There are five campgrounds along or near the trail: Hermit Gulch, Black Jack, Little Harbor, Two Harbors, and Parsons Landing.
