Very Important Trails Access: Connecting Communities to Máyyan 'Ooyákma - Coyote Ridge

About the Project

With support from the Open Space Authority, the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council (Ridge Trail)'s Very Important Trail Community Access program at Máyyan 'Ooyákma – Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve expands public trail access and grows public support for recreation, protection and conservation at the preserve. The Ridge Trail hosts eight guided trail outings for 12-24 participants, in coordination with community partners, to broaden access for individuals and/or families within the Authority’s jurisdiction who have been historically underrepresented. These 3-7 mile nature-based, hiking experiences introduce residents to the trails at Máyyan 'Ooyákma – Coyote Ridge, which include 3.3 miles of newly dedicated Ridge Trail.
