Press release from the City of Poway: December 22, 2021 Rain is in the forecast, but don't let keep you inside. If you take proper precautions you can still enjoy a hike on the trails around Poway. While you should always check current conditions before heading out and avoid flood prone areas, there are benefits to a wet-weather walk. Annie Ransom, of the City of Poway's Community Services, says that you can burn more calories hiking when it's raining, plus the popular trails are typically less crowded. Ransom recommends carrying REI's "Ten Essentials," which is a "must follow" among hikers. And here are a few additional tips to consider: The City of Poway has 78 miles of trails; most remain open during inclement weather.
