SUPER SAN YSIDRO SUNDAYLPFA volunteers had a great day on the San Ysidro Trail last Sunday, February 8th. We brushed, widened tread and restored drains just in time for the rain a few days later. A huge thank you to the volunteers who joined us, the @montecitotrailsfoundation for supporting the project and the @backpackingbaristas for caffeinating our volunteers. If you haven’t met the Baristas on trail yet, be sure to do so soon….It’s Trail Workin’ Season, and we have more projects on the way. Check out LPForest.org for upcoming volunteer events, and get on our newsletter to hear about them first.#lospadresnationalforest #sanysidrotrail #lpfa_trailvolunteers #superbowl2026 #bestcoffeeintown ...

HLP SUPER BOWL SQUARESDo you use HikeLosPadres.com? Have you played a Super Bowl Squares game? Well, LPFA is hosting a Super Bowl Squares game to fundraise for a much needed HikeLosPadres site revamp!If you haven’t used HLP, it’s a crucial source of trail, camp, and water reports for planning your trips in the Los Padres, plus a whole lot more. This site has data going back over 10 years to help inform trips, predict water likelihood and track ever-changing trail conditions. It’s a great site, but it’s in need of a makeover. We’re raising funds to help create a better user experience and help make some crucial updates to the mapping layers and trail data.Follow the HLP Super Bowl Squares Fundraiser link in our bio to support the cause, and enter to win 1 of 4 prize packages including some rare and coveted Los Padres items!#lospadresnationalforest #hikelospadres #superbowl2026 #lpfa_events #lpfa_trailsurveys ...
