I hiked 25 miles from Avalon to Twin Harbors on Catalina Island, California. The trail is a well maintained backpacker highway with ample reservable campgrounds. This Spring (2023), the Island was particularly green due to the high winter rainfall. Trans-Catalina Trail Info: hikingguy.com/hiking-trails/best-la-hikes/trans-catalina-trail-tct-hike-guide/

    Ever been to Razz Lake? I guess there is an upper & lower one but which one we were at back in the day (1972) I have no way of knowing now. I had thought all these years that there was only one. To get to it we had to check the map sinc e there was no trail up to it from the switchback trail we were on. It was not difficult to find as the route to it uphill took only about 15-20 minutes. From the ridge north of the lake one eventually has a view of the Matterhorn. Apparently there is or was a non technical scramble along a ridge that separates the Matterhorn from Sacagawea Peak. Would be great to try that sometime. These are the 2 highest Wallowa Peaks, apparently.

      Hey Casey!!! Yeah, I saw your post on Peakbagger for the Craggies. You did it during that crazy heat wave we had two years ago. My sister and I hiked it in early fall last year... we had planned to traverse over to West Craggie and get both but we were short on daylight so we opted to just do Big Craggie that day. We went back a month ago (June 2023) and got West Craggie which I felt was much easier that Big Craggie... less chossy and a more enjoyable route. Maddy and I are both working through the Bulger list... although she is more hardcore than me... I only have 15 or so...
