What an incredible trip! We camped on Santa Cruz Island which is part of the Channel Island National Park. The island is 20-ish miles off the Ventura, California's shorelines. We hike to Potato Harbor, Smuggler's Cove, learn about the Island Foxes, and so much more! This is our 10th National Park on our adventure to visit all 63!

Who Are We?
Hi y'all! We are Katie and Joey, two Coloradans who found their way home after 10+ years of traveling and working around the globe. We just finished converting our 2022 Ford Transit Van into our mobile home on wheels. We are now on a quest to see every US National Park. After that, we've got a lot more of the world to see but one step at a time!
