Glendale Launches Operation Trail Marker

The Glendale Parks & Open Space Foundation, in collaboration with Los Angeles Magazine, has launched Operation Trail Marker, a new project to improve trail signage in the Verdugo Mountains of Glendale. The Foundation hopes to raise $20,000 to design, fabricate, and install 30 new way-finding signs in the Verdugos through crowdfunding efforts.

 
The Verdugos offer more than 25 miles of trails and fire roads for hiking, biking, and pure recreation, but they lack a good system of trail signage. The Verdugo Mountains project is the first of what is hoped to be many similar projects to make hiking and biking safer and more convenient through the mountains of Los Angeles.

You can donate to the cause by going to:  www.crowdrise.com/OperationTrailMarker
