In 1980, the NPS and the FHWA terminated the 1976 MOA and entered into a new MOA that provided for the completion of the initial phase of the RIP. The purpose of the RIP, per the 1980 MOA, was to maintain and update RIP data in order to develop long-range and short-range costs and programs to bring National Park Service (NPS) roads up to, or to maintain, designated standards, and to establish a maintenance management program.

  • Los Robles Trail
    Los Robles Trail elcome to the Los Robles Trail and Open Space system. This ridgeline trail system with its many neighborhood feeder trails is located at the southern portion of the Conejo Open Space and encompasses nearly 2,000 acres. The Los Robles Trail traverses several open W space areas including Skyline, Conejo Ridge, South Ranch, Los Robles, Hope Nature Preserve, Southern Ridge, Ventu Park, and Deer Ridge. The western terminus of the Los Robles Trail provides access to the Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa section of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and Point Mugu State Park, which together create a public backcountry of over 27,000 acres of open space that stretches to the Pacific Ocean at Sycamore Cove. This scenic region provides panoramic views of Hidden Valley, the Conejo Valley, and the Channel Islands. Many species of wildlife including the Southern Pacific rattlesnake, coyote, bobcat, and mountain lion inhabit the park. Los Robles Trail is also unique in its historical significance. On February 28, 1776, Juan Bautista de Anza and his band of 198 settlers and 1,000 head of livestock came through the Conejo Valley on their way from Mexico to San Francisco. Though the 101 freeway is the actual route, the National Park Service has designated the Los Robles Trail as the official recreational route so that everyone can enjoy the only national historical trail in the State of California. Approximately 25 miles of trails provide a contiguous route from Westlake Village to Newbury Park with several shorter loops into narrow canyons and up steep ridges.
