Tim & Chris on the Backbone trail during the Bulldog loop, post Woolsey fire.

Starting at the Grasslands trail, running the Bulldog loop counter clockwise, passing through the M.A.S.H. tv series film side. From there we turn onto the infamous Bulldog rd, a scenic trail that climbs forever, while rewarding us with panoramic views of the valleys and surrounding mountains. Finishing through Tapia Park onto the angry Chihuahua climb back to Grasslands.

Currently the big concrete bridge has been washed out by the winter storms. There is a little detour that runners/hikers use to cross the water until future repair, it’ll be a little adventure how to cross Malibu Creek.
