Hiking
Catalina Airport (KAVX) serves as a shuttle stop, offering access to Avalon. The airport’s restaurant, open from 8 AM to 5 PM, provides a refreshing break for Trans-Catalina Trail hikers, who often stop for a meal, drink, or hot coffee. Perched on top of a hill, the airport offers an impressive view of planes landing and taking off. Privately owned but open to the public, it welcomes general aviation aircraft and sits 6.4 miles northwest of Avalon in the heart of Catalina Island.

Hiking
The shuttle stop here so you can reach Avalon or start the hike here taking it from Avalon. The restaurent is opened 8-5pm and offers a nice break. It is really impressive as well to see the planes landing and taking off from the runaway on the top of the mountain.
