Connecting our parks together along the crest of the mountains 
Photo by Jim Belsley About This Blog A group of over 30 dedicated hikers have set their sights on completing the Backbone Trail this winter. We will be hiking every 2nd and 4th Saturday from January through April - for 8 total day hikes until they complete all 65 miles of the trail! We'll be exploring the park along the Backbone Trail, or BBT as it is affectionately called, a network of trails made up of federal, state, and other local parklands. Visit the Backbone Trail Homepage and learn about the history of the BBT and how through partnerships we can connect our parks together along the crest of the mountains. Follow their progress on Ranger Mike's blog by clicking the story links below. Maybe next year this could be you!

Did You Know?
Piece by piece, a trail is forging its way along the "backbone" of the recreation area. California State Parks took the first step toward a 65-mile Backbone Trail in 1978. With 5 miles left to go, single track trails and fireroads will unite this patchwork of public parklands from east to west.
