10 News reports that a hiker found a body near Upper Otay Lake on Sunday morning. The Sheriff’s Department is investigating.
Mark your calendars for Friday, November 10th, when author Shawnté Salabert will be at Adventure 16 in San Diego for a book signing and Q&A session for her newly released book Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Southern California: Section Hiking from Campo to Tuolumne Meadows.
The National Park Service has proposed raising entrance fees on 17 of its most popular parks, including Yosemite, Sequoia/Kings Canyon, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, from $30 to $70 per vehicle.
