DESCRIPTION:This will be a 12-14 mile one-way hike along the Backbone Trail with a net elevation loss of 1000 ft and will require some shuttling\\n\\n\\n\\nThe Backbone Trail (really a series of smaller connected trails) runs almost 70 miles through the Santa Monica Mountains from Will Rogers State Park in Pacific Palisades on the south to Point Mugu State Park\, near Oxnard on the north. It follows the Santa Monica Mountains along their crest and the path has an appearance that resembles the spinal column of an animal\, hence its name.\\n\\n\\n\\nOur hike will be comprised of the following segments\\n\\n\\n\\nNewton Canyon\\nLatigo Canyon\\nUpper Solstice\\nCorral Canyon\\nMesa Peak\\n\\n\\n\\nHighlights: brushy chaparral covered slopes\, oak Woodlands\, streamside communities\, old growth chaparral forests\, grassy meadows as well as fossils\, a massive land slide\, caves and strange sandstone formations.\\n\\n\\n\\nThere are 2 parking locations: One is free on the southeast corner of Piuma and Malibu Canyon -- We will meet here. (The other is $5.00 on Malibu Canyon a little south of Piuma).\\n\\n\\n\\nDirections\\n\\n\\n\\nFrom the 101\\nGet off at the Las Virgenes and go south approximately 5 miles to Piuma Rd.
