Backbone Trail

Hiking the crown jewel of the Santa Monica Mountains from end to end is not for the faint of heart, and is a right of passage if you live in So Cal. The number of hikers who have achieved this goal are few, but we mapped out eight sections where we would use two cars, one at each end, to accomplish the goal,.

We took on section 4 of the Back Bone Trail with Pete, Marv's brother in law. I hope he brought his world famous Puddle Dinks!Come out on the trail with us.

Pete went home and it was up to Marv and I to hike the fifth day doing section 6A.Join us on the trail.

Omid joined us for this section of the trail. This was day six hiking section 6B.

Omid joined us again for day seven hiking section 1, which takes us from Will Rogers State Park and climbs to the Hub and then down to Trippet Ranch, a grueling 13 miles!

This was our last and longest section to complete the Back Bone Trail.It was the 3 of us again, Marv, Omid, and I.
