Transit to Trails takes inner city youth and their families and friends on fun and educational mountain, beach, and river trips to enrich their education about water, land, wildlife, and cultural history, and the importance of physical activity and healthy eating for life-long health.<br /> <br /> Transit to Trails buses took inner city families from Northeast L.A., East L.A., Pico Union, and the Gateway Cities to the Montalban Theater, where over 500 audience members were greeted by the sounds of singing crickets and a virtual crackling campfire on stage. Short documentary clips chronicled city kids in Death Valley National Monument and Buffalo Soldiers in Yosemite National Park. National Park Rangers led the audience in campfire singalongs. Three L.A. high school students presented their work on the Los Angeles River webstory by KCET’s Juan Devis.<br /> <br /> Although children in Transit to Trails programs live only an hour from the mountains and beaches, many have never been there, because parents often work two or more jobs, and do not have access to cars or to information to plan trips. Transit to Trails is diversifying access to and support for mountains, beaches, and rivers — and having fun hiking, biking and swimming while doing it! Audience members will have the opportunity to get on the bus, venture beyond the L.A. city limits to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and other park lands and engage different projects including a beach trip to Leo Carrillo State Park and a stewardship project in Zuma Canyon.<br /> <br /> “This was an opportunity to celebrate our parks’ history with audiences who haven’t necessarily ever visited but care deeply about these national treasures,” said Woody Smeck, Park Superintendent. “Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area is Los Angeles’ closest national park. We invite all who live in our area, especially those who have never been to a national park before, to come, explore, have fun, and find new meaning in these special places.”<br /> <br /> “Transit to Trails makes it possible for our youngsters to visit mountains, beaches, and rivers and to learn about the National Parks. Thank you to everyone who made this happen,” said Raul Macias, founder and president of Anahuak Youth Sports Association, who brought hundreds of participants on MRCA buses.<br /> <br /> Transit to Trails is a creative partnership between Anahuak, The City Project, Mountains and Recreation Conservation Authority (MRCA), National Park Service, Oldtimers Foundation, CORBA (Concerned Off Road Bicyclists Association) and others.
