Experience coastal California as it once was as you explore the high places of the 5 publicly-accessible islands of Channel Islands National Park. Includes trail-accessible hills & peaks lying within the boundaries of Channel Islands National Park except for 2 outlying peaks in the Nature Conservancy's land in the western half of Santa Cruz Island (note: requires a boat landing permit to access).

"My first trip to the Channel Islands. My friend Jared and I came for the day and made it to the top with an hour of time to spare. Saw several fox, a scrub jay, and a perrigan falcon. Have to come back and scuba dive for sure. " — MatthewWinterberg • Nov 8, 2018
"East Anacapa Island is mostly flat with few distinctive features. There are several great viewpoints, though. One is on a bump on the edge of the island, which I later learned was Scoop Benchmark. A trail encircles the island, with a short spur pathway leading to the summit." — MikeTeeples • Apr 15, 2017
"Completed the visit to Cavern Point at the tail end of my hiking day on Santa Cruz Island. At the time, I had no idea that this was a "Peakery" summit. Great Ocean views on one side, and Ireland like green grassy hill views when turning around with fields of flowers. Early spring has to be the best time to be there." — MikeTeeples • Mar 18, 2017
"After a great night watching the sunset over Potato Harbor, we got a leisurely start the next morning. Saw many Channel Island Foxes, smaller than a Chihuahua and found no where else in the world. Had the summit to ourselves and enjoyed some California wine before heading back to camp down Scorpion Canyon. Found a note from a ranger at our campsite that an unexpected storm was expected overnight and they evacuated the island while we were out hiking. We had to take a rescue boat out early the next morning along with about 8 other campers they couldn't find the night before. A very memorable National Park experience and a great way to start a new year of peakbagging." — Christopher • Jan 5, 2013
