- The Trans-Catalina Trail is an amazing and safe first experience for a solo female backpacker! Enjoy this vlog of my experience, plus a detailed explanation of the route I took, places I stopped, and a bit of history about the island and its wildlife.
I hiked from Avalon to Two Harbors during the first weekend of December, staying at Black Jack Campground and Little Harbor Campground and totalled about 25 miles in 3 days, 2 nights (saving the Parson's Landing loop for next time). The climbs were tough but the views, wildlife, and new friends made it totally worth it!

My name is Ashley Diedenhofen, I am 26 years old from California (specifically northern San Diego) and I make videos about environmental science, sustainability, and adventures. I LOVE to travel and learn about the world around me. In addition to travel I also love science 👩🏼🔬, snorkeling (and the ocean in general)🐠, hiking, cooking & baking 🍳, reading 📖, chocolate 🍪, and learning about stuff and making videos on it!
I did this solo last year!! I'm going back soon and doing the whole trail this time. Love this so much!

Thanks Justin!!
I’ve got to do this hike!
I’ve lived in SoCal my whole life and never been to Catalina. I guess there’s only one person to blame for that…
"Oh wait, squirrel!" Awesome
Your backpack looks pretty heavy! Is there anything you think you should have left behind and what do you wish you had packed?
Blue lizard is a wonderful suncreen❤
Definitely want to do this while in San Diego!
