Backbone Trail Chicken Ridge Bridge Over Will Rogers State Park Update: TCA is deeply saddened to report that the Chicken Ridge Bridge known for its beautiful vistas, which is an integral part of the Backbone Trail that overlooks Will Rogers State Park has fallen into disrepair due to the January 2025 Palisades Fire.

TCA has started discussions with State Parks, The Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council, and Scout Troop 67 in the hopes that we can get together to spearhead the replacement of the popular bridge with the breathtaking viewpoint. The replacement bridge will in all likelihood have to be brought in via helicopter. While all of the groups involved come to a solution, State Parks Officials stress that hikers should refrain from traversing the closed portions of the Backbone Trail until it can be officially reopened.
