Hello Hikers!
Welcome to August. The following San Diego County Parks are closed during the month of August due to extreme heat: El Capitan Open Space Preserve (El Cajon Mountain), Mount Gower Open Space Preserve, Hellhole Canyon Preserve, and Wilderness Gardens. Silverwood Wildlife Sanctuary in Lakeside is also closed in August and September.
San Diego County Parks and Recreation has posted an update on the progress regarding the new Boulder Oaks Preserve in Ramona. They are currently processing all of the comments they have received. Another community meeting will be scheduled, likely sometime in 2017.
Next Sunday head on over to Oakoasis Preserve for an Oakoasis Sunday Stroll. This is a nice and moderately challenging walking opportunity that the whole family can enjoy. Be prepared for a few hundred feet of elevation gain and loss on a dirt trail that is steep and slippery in some areas. Please dress in layers, wear sturdy shoes and bring water for this 3-mile loop that features fantastic overviews of San Vicenete Reservoir. Go to the San Diego Parks and Recreation Program Guide for more information, or visit our Events Page to find even more upcoming hikes and events.
