Just past the campground, turn right on Hermit Gulch Trail. A sign here notes the access to the Trans-Catalina Trail. This 1.7-mile long single trail climbs some 1,200 feet to a junction with East Road (a fire road straddling the divide at the southern end of Catalina Island). Hermit Gulch Trail is the steepest part of the hike.
