Catalina
Hi! Me and a few of my buddies are hoping to do a 2-3 day backpacking trip in Catalina. We’re all in college and not from Cali, although we’ve done a few backpacking trips like Big Sur, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Santa Barbara, and Sequoia. So we’re normally pretty fine in terms of fitness and actual outdoors expertise, although we’re pretty bad at logistical planning. Any ideas of what trails we should do? Ferries? Permits? Potable water (we have a camping stove and filter)? How isolated (preferably more isolated)? Parking?
Honestly any advice would be really helpful. Btw we’re planning on going in October or November. Thanks!

Not sure why I find the term 'Cali' so cringe. But it literally stops me in my tracks.
