Hello hikers! I hope everyone’s been managing to get some trail time in despite the nasty heat. We’ve been trying to stay cool by sticking to coastal hikes or heading out very early in the morning (sunrise in the Lagunas, anyone?) So we’ve got some good posts for you to look forward to over the next few weeks.

If you also want a hike to look forward to next weekend, how about a ranger-led Nature Hike at Felicita County Park next Saturday? Join County Rangers for a staff led hike at Felicita Park. Meet in the main picnic area and hike along Felicita Creek. You will see grinding stones and learn about the plants and animals that live in the park. It is an easy hike, open to all ages. Bring water, a hat and walking shoes. Visit the County Parks and Recreation Activity Guide for more information, or check out our Events page for more upcoming hiking events throughout San Diego County.
