Well, that was nearly the case on our weekend club outing to Anza-Borrego. Surprisingly, most people I run into don't. When needed, a patch of moleskin, a dollop of calamine lotion or a few Advil can be worth their weight in gold.
Most outfitters sell a variety of first aid kits, and some sell stock to re-supply.
Hiking in Southern California Your trail guide and hiking resource Southern California is a unique location for the hiker, camper and backpacker, as there is easy access to nearby trails in our mountains, deserts, beaches, regional parks, and even into nearby Baja California. There are few days in the year when at least one of these destinations is not ideal for testing out those hiking boots or stepping back into the wilderness. This forum will hopefully help those who visit or live in the region find their way to these wonders. This is a place to not only help find these resources, but also to share your own knowledge of local trails and outdoors experiences with others. So Cal Hikers .
