Channel Islands National Park – CA

#springitinerary Springtime at the Channel Islands was an adventure I’ll never forget! The boat ride over was smooth, and we spotted dolphins and even a few whales along the way. On Santa Cruz Island, the hills were green and sprinkled with golden poppies and lupine in full bloom. I kayaked through sea caves and hiked to scenic overlooks with sweeping ocean views. The cool temps made exploring perfect. #springitinerary must for nature lovers — it feels remote and wild but still accessible. Pro tip: pack snacks and layers; there are no shops on the islands. Totally worth it!
