Santa Monica Mountains Trail Days is a beloved, free-to-attend annual celebration of our local trails and parkland. Held in Point Mugu State Park over the weekend of April 21st-23rd (Fri-Sun), it is a time for individuals, families, and groups to give back to the parks by working together to maintain the trails. There’s an important task for everyone, from seasoned trail builders to first-time volunteers, as well as age-appropriate activities for children.
We are proud to have been one of the festival’s founders, and it has continued to be the highlight of the SMMTF trail crew’s yearly schedule since its inception. Other organizing partners for the event include the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council, California State Parks, National Park Service, and the Concerned Off-Road Bicyclists Association (CORBA).
Join us on Saturday, April 22nd (Earth Day) join us as we restore several recreational trails surrounding Danielson Group Campground at the 40th annual Santa Monica Mountains Trail Days — whether it’s with the Sierra Club work party (details) or another of the work crews — and perhaps stay for the weekend, and enjoy a night or two of free camping, waking up both mornings to hot beverages and bagels. Volunteers can also look forward to a complimentary BBQ dinner on Saturday night, and a jumbo thank-you gift drawing on both days, generously sponsored by our organizers and community members.
Registration is required.
