Ridge - Canyon Access Trail is one of many trails within Zuma/Trancas Canyons and provides connectivity between Zuma Ridge Motorway, Zuma Loop Trail, and Zuma Canyon Trails. Zuma/Trancas Canyons comprise a large area of continuous native habitat. "Zuma" is the Chumash word for abundance, which is fitting given the amount of plant and animal life in the area. Trails dive into remote canyon bottoms and travel along ridgelines with broad horizons. The Backbone Trail System ties in with Zuma Ridge Motorway. Cyclists are not allowed on any trails in lower Zuma Canyon. Equestrians are allowed on all trails.
From PCH, turn inland at Busch Dr, across from Zuma Beach. Travel 1.3 mi. to the Zuma Ridge Trailhead.
