Our goal to hike all 68 miles of the Back Bone Trail
Dec 12th, 2011
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,.
Day one, hiking section 2
Dec 15th, 2011
This was the start to hiking the entire Backbone Trail, all 68 miles!
Day two, hiking section 3
Dec 27th, 2011
I numbered these by sections starting in Will Rogers, so even though this was our second day, it was the 3rd section.
Day three, hiking section 4
Feb 8th, 2012
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.
