Now some good news&#8230; National forests around California and the West are lifting fire restrictions, which generally means you can have open campfires as long as you have a permit and [...]]]></description>

Nope, I won&#8217;t be on this one because I&#8217;ll be hiking in the southern Sierra Nevada with my partner Stephanie.

		<description><![CDATA[I love hiking the Trinity Divide Mountains. They&#8217;re just west of Mount Shasta in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, and although they don&#8217;t boast the spectacular beauty of the high Sierra Nevada to the south or the Trinity Alps further west, they have rocky peaks and ridges and some sweet glacial lakes with clear and cool [...]]]></description>
