AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would add the Bay Area Ridge Trail to the list of routes that the National Trails System Act calls for studying as possible national scenic trails. The trail is described as a multi-use path of about 550 miles along the ridgelines around the San Francisco Bay Area, connecting over 75 parks and open spaces. The Secretary of the Interior would have to complete a feasibility study on designating it as a national scenic trail and send it to Congress within 1 year after the bill becomes law. The study would be done in consultation with interested groups, including the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council, and with each federal and state agency that manages land the trail crosses.
