Segments of Backbone Trail Reopen | Malibu
A portion of the Backbone Trail—a 67-mile trail operated by National Park Service that extends from Pacific Palisades to Point Mugu State Park—reopened four months after the Woolsey fire.
“The majority of the 67-mile Backbone Trail is now open, with the exception of a four-mile stretch from Yerba Buena Road to the Mishe Mokwa Trailhead and a six-mile stretch from the Kanan Trailhead east to the Corral Canyon Trailhead,” NPS shared in a statement. “Large portions of the trail have been closed since the Woolsey fire destroyed 88 percent of federal parkland in Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area last November.”
