Weekly Update: The Outdoors | 5.1.26

Description

This week’s theme is the Outdoors—from the trails and wildlife to the communities built around them. We sit down with Connor Wilson of Animal Friends of the Valley to talk about rising snake activity and what it means for outdoor safety across the region. We also meet hikers traveling the Pacific Crest Trail as they pass through the Inland Empire, each bringing their own story to the journey. Our City Minute takes us to Idyllwild, where a strong sense of community, local art, and even a unique mayor help define the town’s identity. Plus, we highlight the Idyllwild Trail Festival, raising support for volunteer rescue organizations who respond when the outdoors becomes unpredictable. New episodes every Friday on ieNOW.
