Our friend Nicole Snell recently returned from a solo hike along the Trans-Catalina Trail (TCT) and we asked her to share this journey with us!
Nicole is lead personal safety instructor with IMPACT Personal Safety and owner of Girls Fight Back AND one of the empowering instructors for our Town to Trails: From Fear to Fearless workshop.
Located almost 22 miles off the coast of Southern California, Santa Catalina Island (Pima by the Pima Tongvan people who lived there thousands of years ago) charms visitors with breathtaking ocean views, gentle hills, stark cliffs, free-roaming Bison with a unique film industry backstory, awesome scuba diving, and more.
The island’s Trans-Catalina Trail is as rugged as the island is beautiful – known for steep ups and downs, intense sun exposure, and need for some organizational prowess.
