SUMMARY:Endemic Wildlife Excursion at Ben Weston Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Register Today!		\n \nStep off the beaten path and into one of Catalina Island’s most exclusive hiking experiences. This guided journey through Ben Weston Canyon Trail takes you toward a remote\, wild beach while uncovering the conservation stories that make this place unlike anywhere else on Earth. \nAbout the HikeFrom the Trailhead\, it’s a 1.2-mile trek to the beach with gentle creek crossings\, a 190-foot elevation gain and sweeping views along the way. Some portions offer shade\, but much of the trail is sun-exposed\, so bring sun protection. The round trip takes about 1.5 hours. There are no restrooms or water available until you return to the Trailhead. \nWildlife & ConservationKeep your eyes open for Catalina’s rare and remarkable wildlife like the Island Fox\, Catalina Quail\, Ground Squirrel\, and Catalina Island Shrew. While sightings aren’t guaranteed\, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the science and care that goes into protecting these species and the fragile habitats they call home. \nWhy it MattersBy joining us\, you’re not just hiking — you’re helping protect the Island’s natural legacy for future generations. Lace up\, look closer and connect with the wild side of Catalina. \nDeparture & Return DetailsThis exclusive excursion begins at the Trailhead Visitor Center in Avalon\, where your guide will provide an introduction and welcome before setting out together. Transportation to the Ben Weston Canyon Trail is included as part of the program. \nIf you’re traveling from the mainland\, please note that Catalina Express boat fare is not included — reservations should be made as early as possible to secure your spot. We’ll return to Avalon by approximately 1:30 p.m. \nWhat to Bring:Pack a lunch and snacks\, a reusable water bottle and plenty of sun protection. Wear layered clothing\, long pants and sturdy hiking shoes suitable for rugged terrain.
