Hello Hikers!

It’s certainly starting to get warm out there! As a quick reminder, make sure to check the weather report for the area you’ll be hiking in before you head out. Often times its nice and cool near the coast, but can be dangerously warm further inland, so make sure you know what you’re getting into. Hiking early in the morning or in the late afternoon and evening are also good ways to make sure your trek doesn’t end badly.

Starting today, permits to hike Cedar Creek Falls will now cost $10 (formerly $6). They are still good for up to 5 people.

Mark your calendars for the weekends of May 13-14 and May 20-21, for the San Diego River Park Foundation’s 14th Annual River Days! There will be huge array of educational activities, hikes, bike rides, volunteer projects, bird walks, workshops and much more! Visit www.sdriverdays.org for a full schedule of events.

Next Saturday, May 6th, head on over to Mission Trails Regional Park for a Wildlife Tracking Walk. Join experienced MTRP Tracking Team members for an adventure in wildlife tracking. Learn the art of discovering and identifying tracks and other signs left behind by the park’s seldom-seen wildlife. These easy walks are suitable for the whole family.Don’t forget to wear long pants for kneeling on the ground. Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and bring along water. A hat and sunscreen are also recommended. Walks are canceled if raining. Visit the Mission Trails Events calendar for more information.
