Most of the time, people don’t associate hiking with an expensive outdoor activity … unless you start factoring in the latest ultralight gear and nutritional energy bars. But the National Forests in Southern California DO charge you a very small fee to park and use their land.

On Saturday and Sunday, as part of without any Adventure Passes or fees — except for overnight camping, concession areas, and OHV zones.

So get out there and hike, cheapskates!
