Salta Verde Point, Santa Catalina Island

Salta Verde Point, Santa Catalina Island, is located on the seaward side of the island, seven miles south of Little Harbor, between China Point and Silver Canyon.

SALTA VERDE: “A stretch of the southern-central portion of the island about five miles long by two miles broad. It extends from Mt. Viscanio westward and lies between Bull Rush Canyon and the Pacific. This area slopes abruptly toward the Pacific and is traversed by many steep and difficult canyons and gullies. The ridges and gullies are clothed with salt-grass, sage-brush, cactus, stunted oak and Ncostyphonia integrifolia.” [Millspaugh & Nuttall Flora of Santa Catalina Island (1923)].
