Hello Hikers!
Happy Memorial Day! While I’m thrilled to have a 3-day weekend and welcome the official start of summer, we need to take a moment to remember what today is really about: today we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and died while serving in the armed forces. Freedom is not free.
In honor of Memorial Day, California State Parks are offering free admission to Veterans, Active Duty and Reserve Military personnel today.
One of my favorite things about a 3-day weekend is a 4-day work week. If you’re already thinking about next weekend, consider a hike at the Santa Ysabel Preserve East Side next Sunday. Join preserve staff on a hike around the Kanaka Loop trail. Meet at the Farmer Road staging area. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed. Please wear appropriate hiking attire, including a hat and light jacket. Bring water and snacks for along the trail. Inclement weather will cancel event. Check out the County of San Diego Parks and Recreation Guide for more information, or visit our Events Page for even more upcoming hikes.
