Here is the next installment of the video series, “Tales of the Trails.” In this 12-minute episode, my friends and I took a trip to Santa Cruz Island off the coast of Ventura in Southern California. Santa Cruz Island is part of Channel Islands National Park.

One thing I mentioned in the video that was not included is Smugglers Cove.  A visit to that area was part of the original plan, but we ran out of time and weren’t able to see it this time around.  I visited Smugglers Cove on my trip to the island in 2011.  You can view those pics here: Santa Cruz Island 2011.

I hope you enjoy this journey to an enchanting island in the Pacific.  May it plant a seed of discovery and adventure in you.  🙂
