Milt McAuley is widely acclaimed as the Father of the Backbone Trail. He helped plot the route for the 60 miles of the Trail now in use, and often led hikes to help promote this remarkable recreation resource available to everyone at little or no cost right in our own backyard. See for yourself why the Upper Zuma Canyon Trail was one of Milt's favorites.
