Channel Islands
National Park and Marine Sanctuary


Wildlife, Hiking, & Water Sports

July 23-25, 2005

July is the perfect time to enjoy wildlife, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. San Miguel, Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz islands will be alive with curious sea lions, seals, as well as dolphins and numerous species of birds. Snorkelers will delight in the pristine waters of the marine sanctuary surrounding these islands, and photographers will especially enjoy the "magic hours".

The cruise departs on the 65' twin diesel Truth from Santa Barbara. Guests are encouraged to board the boat on Friday evening, July 22, to prepare for an early Saturday departure. The cruise is strictly informal. Each guest will have an assigned a bunk equipped with a privacy curtain and a reading light. The cost, $470, includes bunk, sumptuous meals, snacks, and guide.

Proceeds from this fundraiser support Sierra Club's political program in California.
