Catalina State Park

Today we are off on a solo trip to Catalina State Park for a relaxing week.  This park is great as it is close to home and not generally busy this time of the year.  The park is a popular snow bird destination so it gets very crowded later in the winter.  One nice thing is they have started taking reservations so for a $5 fee you can select your site up to a year in advance.  You can still pick a site without a reservation but beware that they are on a night by night basis so for long term visits reservations are best.  This park has some of the most awesome views and some really great hiking trails.  It is very convenient to town with a major shopping center right across from the entrance.  There is even an In-N-Out there so life is good!  It was a cold and rainy day but it was neat to see snow on the mountains.
