Park visitor Carrin travels with a cigar box of oil paint supplies and a tripod/easel. Carrin was inspired by the island bluffs forming Scorpion Bay. How would YOU spend an extra 20 minutes waiting for a return boat, at Channel Islands National Park?
Volunteer contributions are invaluable in ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy Channel Islands National Park. So, here's a big round of applause to our incredible volunteers - thank you for all that you do to keep Channel Islands National Park thriving!
Park volunteer Russ, says, "My happy place is on the Carrington Point trail (on Santa Rosa Island). There is a point where the trail turns and if it's a clear day, you get a spectacular view of San Miguel Island. I try to come here every year during springtime to see this view."
Show your love for local beaches by joining us for a beach clean-up on April 21, 2024, from 9 am to noon. Individuals, families, and groups are welcome! All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. All volunteers must sign a waiver.
Don’t forget to stop and smell the… giant coreopsis? Giant coreopsis is native to the Channel Islands. The blooms have only just begun with handfuls of plants seen displaying their flowers on park islands. The coreopsis flowers and leaves dry out during the summer and fall.
Island ceanothus (Ceanothus arboreus) is a species of shrub endemic to the Channel Islands. Ceanothus arboreus grow up to 25-30 feet tall, making it one of the tallest of the genus. They have glossy dark green leaves. Their flowers range from light to dark blue.
Give your yard or home a spring makeover with plants native to the Channel Islands. There will be over 20 hardy, drought-tolerant species available. This sale helps support the Channel Islands Park Foundation and Ventura County Master Gardeners' restoration efforts.

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. On my rock. Focused. Flourishing. On Santa Rosa Island, banana slugs celebrated the New Year in their usual slimy style in Lobo Canyon. #SlugLife #HappyNewYear #FindYourPark #EncuentraTuParque Image: NPS / Reuven Bank
Prisoners Harbor and Del Norte Campground on Santa Cruz Island have been re-opened to day-use visitors and overnight campers.
Temporary Closure: Due to storm impacts, Prisoners Harbor and camping at Del Norte Campground on Santa Cruz Island are closed to day-use visitors and overnight campers. Staff will be working with partners to monitor the situation and will re-open when conditions improve.
Your odds of being stalked by a harbor seal are low, but never zero. Snorkelers and divers in the park should be sure to respect seals and sea lions' personal space (though as this park diver can attest, they may not always respect yours). Photos by NPS / Reuven Bank

Welcome to another edition of Is It Real, Or Is It Fake? Once again, we’re your host Interior. The sea pickles at @CHISNPS are tubes made up of a colony of fast-growing pelagic tunicates rather than a singular animal. Sea 🥒's. Real or Fake?
