Hello Hikers!

Next week is National Park Week, so on both weekends (April 15-16 and April 22-23) there will be free admission to all National Parks! Note, this is just for National Parks and does not include National Forest lands – you’ll still need an Adventure Pass there.

If you weren’t able to attend Scott Turner’s Afoot and Afield: San Diego presentation and book-signing last week, or if you couldn’t get a book because they were sold out, never fear! There will be another book-signing event this Friday, April 14th from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm at Adventure 16 San Diego. No presentation this time, just a chance to hang out and get your book signed.

This Saturday, April 15th, San Diego Canyonlands will be holding a ribbon cutting ceremony as they unveil their long awaited trail improvements along the City Heights Canyon Loop Trail. The event will be at 10 am at the intersection of 46th and Myrtle Avenue (near 4601 Myrtle). This five mile canyon trail includes Olivia/47th Street Canyon, Swan Canyon, Hollywood Canyon and Manzanita Canyon with a few street connections.
