HIKE WITH JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK SUPERINTENDENT TOMORROW

As part of the centennial year, Joshua Tree National Park is offering a hiking challenge. Hikers can pick up a free Centennial Hiking Challenge booklet at any of the Parkā€™s visitor centers. Inside are suggested hikes, a log to record your hikes, and a page for rangers to sign which will qualify you for special stickers to reward your effort. Each booklet allows you to log up to 100 miles. Managing editor Tami Roleff says you can start your log with a hike with Park Superintendent David Smith tomorrowā€¦
