Smugglers Cove
My day two hike in Santa Cruz Island in Channel Islands National Park was the 7.5 mile trail to Smuggler's Cove. I made a whole day out of it and I'm glad I did. A couple day trip hikers seemed to have to rush through it. The whole hike there was filled with rolling green hills (I went in the spring) with crazy views of Anacapa Island and one of Santa Cruz's mountain range. The cove is a nice beach you can probably swim at during the summer. I had lunch here and stayed about two hours relaxing and had the whole place to myself. You can go the same way back to scorpions harbor or do what I did and make it a loop by going back on the dynamic scorpion canyon trail
