Anacapa’s spine from a spring hillside

Fig. 1Anacapa’s spine from a spring hillside

Landform

A chain of volcanic islands in the Santa Barbara Channel. Sea cliffs, an arch, and a wild California that boats, not roads, reach.

Field note

Anacapa is a spine of rock with a hole punched through it. Coreopsis blooms yellow in spring. Foxes live on the larger islands. The mainland is a faint line. The park is five islands and almost no one.
