Each year, there are a handful of organized day trips to San Miguel Island - the westernmost of the California Channel Islands

Many dolphins followed the boat to/from the island
There's no jetty on the island, so skiffs were used to unload the passengers
The main trail into the interior of the island
Giant Coreopsis

Monument to the explorer Cabrillo, who died and was buried (somewhere else) on this island
The monument was presumably made by Portuguese-Americans, as it uses (and misspells :-) the Portuguese spelling of his name, even though it's far from clear that he was Portuguese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Rodríguez_Cabrillo
You can also reach the island by plane
Cuyler Harbor
Elephant Seals
More dolphins on the ride back
The hump of a humpback whale
The end of a fun day
