Hello Hikers!
At long last, the new edition of Afoot and Afield: San Diego County has been released! This long anticipated update of Jerry Schad’s hiking bible has been completely updated and includes 30 new routes. Adventure 16 San Diego will be hosting a free book-signing and presentation where you can meet co-author Scott Turner on Wednesday, April 5, starting at 6:30 pm.
The superbloom isn’t the only exciting thing going on in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park right now. The park is also full of migrating Swainson’s hawks who enjoy feasting on the resident caterpillars. Check out this article from SFGate and the Borrego Valley Hawkwatch blog for more information.
NBC San Diego reports that Cabrillo National Monument is seeking public input on plans to expand trails at the national monument. The comment period runs through April 16, you can see the plan or submit comments online here.
The San Diego Reader has another article regarding the Marine’s plans to open up access to the Stowe Trail which passes through Miramar. In order to access the trail, users will need to get a permit, similar to a driver’s license, which will be valid for one year. An announcement is expected sometime in mid-April when permitting will begin.
