There is an extensive, very well developed
caliche forest on San Miguel Island.
Another popular hike is to the Island's
caliche forest.
To see other parts of the island, such as Point Bennett or
the caliche forest, you must go with a ranger or volunteer.
Now I mentioned earlier that there are only three trees on the island, the palms on the beach...
The Caliche Forest is an ancient forest that is no longer filled with living trees, rather a Caliche or calcium carbonate buildup of what used to be there.
