New Los Angeles To Ventura County Hiking Trail To Be Dedicated This Weekend

Backbone Trail between Ventura and Los Angeles Counties to be dedicated this weekend

A trail which hikers can use to get from Ventura, to Los Angeles Counties will officially open this weekend.

The Backbone Trail extends 67 miles through the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation area. One of the key actions to complete the trail was the donation of a chunk of land in Zuma Canyon by former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and a business partner to the public. The gift is the single largest private donation for the Backbone Trail.

Hundreds of people are expected to take part in a dedication ceremony at Will Rogers State Park at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
