48 Hours on Catalina Island

As an LA-based brand, the outdoors isn’t too far away from us— this summer, our crew took a 22-mile ferry ride across the Catalina Channel to Catalina Island, a mountainous island known for dramatic cliffs and a mellow Mediterranean climate. While it’s more widely known for hosting a famous wine mixer, the island boasts over 165 miles of trails, protected wilderness areas, and crystal-clear waters—ideal for backpacking, snorkeling, spearfishing and wildlife viewing. We grabbed Aidan Howe, Blake Moller, Keegan Hosefros, and Robby Meehan for an off-season backpack trip to explore the island and test some Everywear apparel for backpacking.
