Summary: A crew of 11 Trails Council volunteers met at the Trippet Ranch parking lot at 8:30 AM. This was the third work day scheduled on this trail and another joint project with the Sierra Club’s Santa Monica Mountains Task Force trail crew. We briefly discussed the safety precautions we’re to take for the COVID-19 pandemic, the anticipated work planned for the day, and precautions related to the forecasted heat. We then shuttled up the East Topanga Fire Road and parked at the trailhead. We then distributed the tools and hiked 0.30 miles to the location where we left on the previous trail work event. We split into a couple of groups, continuing to replace burned and damaged steps along a steep section of the trail with assistance provided by State Parks staff. We installed four new wooden steps, cleaned/restored drains, smoothed and graded sections of the trail, and constructed a new rock step. The day was sunny and very warm. We stopped work after a lunch break and hiked back to the trailhead and returned via shuttle to the parking lot at Trippet Ranch. We restored about 550 feet or 0.1 mile of trail. After 3 events, this trail is now safer and in much better shape.
