What's up, guys?
It's Jordan Fisher,
and I am here at the Channel Islands National Park,
on behalf of the National Park Foundation,
to introduce you to this remarkable place
and show you all that it has to offer.
Now, you might be thinking,
"I've never even heard of this place,"
but that is exactly why we are here.
To give you a bit of a crash course,
or Channel Islands 101, if you will.
With this amazing 360-degree view...
Now, it's obviously stunning out here in the Channel Islands.
And the good news is that they're easily accessible
through a beautiful boat ride off the coast of Ventura,
just an hour or so north of Los Angeles.
Right now, we are on Santa Cruz Island,
and this is my friend Park Ranger Kelly Moore.
Can you tell us a little bit more about where we are?
Absolutely.
We are standing on the largest island
off the coast of California.
Santa Cruz is about 96 square miles in size.
-Geez. -It boasts two mountain ranges.
It's got deep, deep canyons with year-round springs.
Beautiful coastline with craggy cliffs
and big sea caves.
Lots of tide pools and beautiful beaches.
Amazing. Now, I would recommend that you start your trip here
by making the trek to Cavern Point.
It's just at the tip of the Santa Cruz Island
and is an absolutely fantastic way
to start your trip here.
However...
this is not the only island worth checking out.
That's right.
Take a look at Anacapa Island.
Waves have eroded the volcanic island
to create spectacular sights like sea cliffs, sea caves,
and the picturesque 40-foot-high Arch Rock.
Check out that view.
Explore the rocky shores either on foot or by kayak
and catch a glimpse of the resident wildlife.
Back on Anacapa Island,
you can hike and get a bit of a history lesson, too,
when you follow the trail
to the historic Anacapa Lighthouse.
Notice any birds?
Fun fact:
At any time during breeding season
you might see up to 10,000 Western gulls
on Anacapa Island.
So, not only can you hike around Anacapa Island,
but there's plenty of trails
to hike around Santa Cruz Island, as well.
Um, some easier than others, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
The trails here range
from the more maintained or relatively flat paths
of the Scorpion Valley area
to the more rugged or mountainous paths
around the Montanon.
And both, though, have magnificent views.
So, depending on your level of comfort,
and ability, there really is something for everybody.
Amazing.
So, just make sure that you have good hiking boots, right?
Plenty of water...
And probably even some photo space on your phone, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
There may be some of you
that want to camp while you're here.
Camping is available year-round on all five islands of the park.
Here on Santa Cruz,
you can camp out on Scorpion Canyon Camground.
It has fantastic ocean views
and relaxing beaches, as you can see.
But you won't be camping alone while you're here.
There are 140 different types of land birds,
11 types of land mammals,
about 600 different types of plant species,
and even a handful of amphibians and reptiles
out here with us.
Wow. And especially keep your eye out
for the island scrub jay
and the island fox, as well, right?
Which are both unique to the island?
They are, indeed.
Yeah, you can only find that island fox here
at the Channel Islands,
nowhere else in the whole world.
Absolutely amazing.
And they're so cute, but so mischievous, too.
I know that they can open zippers
and get into your bags and tents and steal food.
It's no joke.
The marine wildlife is a can't-miss experience
when visiting the Channel Islands.
Here, you'll get the chance to see sea life up close.
It's one of the richest marine environments in the world.
If you're a seasoned diver,
this spot will be perfect for you.
Year-round,
park rangers dive into areas like Landing Cove, with cameras,
and give you a chance to see through their camera lens.
You can see bright sea stars, spiny sea urchins, and even more,
by watching the park rangers' live streams.
Looking for a place to get inspired?
Well, Anacapa has just the spot for you:
Inspiration Point.
Even on a foggy day,
this is one of the best vistas in the park.
With views like these,
Inspiration Point is the ultimate Instagram, hashtag,
humblebrag worthy spot in the park.
There you have it.
Just some of the amazing things that you can do on your trip
to the Channel Islands National Park.
Now, of course, there's tons more to do.
So, go to the National Park Service website
and start planning your trip today.
Now, thank you to everyone
for joining me on this Channel Islands 101 tour.
I had an amazing time with the National Park Service
and the National Park Foundation.
Don't forget to get out there and find your park.
And share this video
so that everybody else can learn all about
the beautiful Channel Islands National Park.
