Santa Monica Mountains Trail Days

This weekend the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council (SMMTC) is having their annual event, and the local geocachers will be participating. The crew chief, Jerry Mitcham (TOHiker), will be assigning geocachers to specific trail crews to work on specific trails. Trail work is on Saturday and Sunday!

NOTE: THIS IS AN ALL DAY/ALL WEEKEND EVENT

Because of the location of the trail work and the camp site (you can camp overnight for free, if you want), cars are escorted in at the beginning of the day, and escorted out in the afternoon by park rangers
