I did 5 miles heading East last week (from Stoneview Park to Windsor Hills). It was awesome — beautiful views, wide trail with lots of stopping off points for my dog and me. I am impressed with the added features and signage, too! Good job planners and builders!

I love where I live, except for some of my neighbors.

This trail has a lot of options and you can do it in segments if you choose. In the near future this will be a complete trail from Marina del Rey all the way to the Stocker Corridor. Most of this existing trail is very well marked and established. I recommend this one.
