Hello Hikers!

Looks like June Gloom is upon us, which makes for nice, cool hiking weather. If the grey gets too depressing for you, I recommend heading up towards Cuyamaca or Mt. Laguna where you can hopefully get above the marine layer.

The location for the upcoming public hearing regarding proposed off trail use restrictions in areas of CA State Parks has been announced. The hearing will be held at the San Diego County Operations Center, Hearing Room, 5520 Overland Avenue, San Diego, CA 93123 on June 22, 2016 starting at 6 pm and ending when either testimony has completed or no later than 8 pm.

The County of San Diego Parks and Recreation has announced a workshop on Thursday, June 30 from 6:30 – 8:00 pm at the Ramona Library to share a draft public access plan for the Boulder Oaks Preserve in Ramona. The Preserve is located just north of the San Vicente Reservoir and has been closed to the public since its acquisition in 2003.

Next Saturday, you can join the San Diego Natural History Museum Canyoneers as they hike Greenbelt (Shepard) Canyon. This is an easy 2 mile hike with elevation change up to 200 feet. Take a stroll through the canyon toward a small reservoir that attracts birds and other animals. This is part of a greenbelt area that sustains native vegetation in the area formerly known as Camp Elliott. Visit the Canyoneers’ web page for more information, or check out our Events Page to find even more upcoming hikes and events.
