On Saturday 5/29/2010 a dozen CORBA volunteers and a hand full of men from the MRCA fire crew spent the day cutting back brush and doing some tread work. We worked the Calabasas Crest Trail starting just South of Calabasas Road up to the water tank at the top of the switchbacks. We had a hard working crew and managed to clear weeds and do tread work on 1.5 miles of trail! There was a lot of thistle along the trail so it was not an easy task! you can view our work in the photo gallery.
The following day we returned to ride the entire trail to survey the conditions of the remainder of the loop. The MRCA fire crew has maintained much of the North end of the trail and it is now clear of brush. The South and West sides from Normans Way to the Bark Park Trail is in need of some brush work but it is passable for those not minding a little bushwhacking. Keep in mind there is some thistle in there so long pants or knee/shin guards would be a good idea.
CORBA will be checking in with the Land Managers to coordinate getting the remainder of the trail maintained.
