  Exploring California's Channel Islands: San Miguel Island
Join the Catalina Island Conservancy as we explore the westernmost of all of the California Channel Islands, San Miguel. Wind and weather constantly sweep across the North Pacific to batter the shores of this remote island. This extreme weather creates a harsh but profoundly beautiful environment. The 9,500-acre island is primarily a plateau about 500 feet in elevation, but two 800-foot rounded hills emerge from its wild, windswept landscape. This day trip with Island Packers will depart from Ventura Harbor and will offer four hiking options on San Miguel Island.

For 45 days in September and October, 2010, Scott Cassell, noted marine explorer and underwater videographer, will lead up to 60 expeditions to photograph ocean depths never before visited by human beings. This unique experience can be customized from 1 to 30 days. A portion of all contributions will support the protection and restoration of Catalina Island.
