Hello Hikers!
I hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays and getting lots of hiking in! It looks like we’ll have some rain late Monday (and possibly some snow in the mountains), then it will be cold and clear for the rest of the week. Bundle up and hit the trails!
If you’re anything like me, you’ll be going to bed early on New Year’s Eve so you can get up bright and early for some hiking! California State Parks will be hosting a series of First Day Hikes throughout the state. There’s plenty to choose from in San Diego County including several at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. Check out their list of events and start making plans for New Year’s Day!
If you’re thinking about goals and resolutions for the upcoming year, check out the 52 Hike Challenge and commit to hiking an average of one time a week for the next year! If that’s a little too ambitious for you, there’s always the Mission Trails 5-Peak Challenge. Still not your thing? Make up your own goal and tell us about it in the comments!
