the original boundaries of the Rim of the Valley Trail Corridor established by the state

Conservancy in 1989, urged that the Rim of the Valley Trail Corridor be expanded to
include areas like Whitney and Elsmere Canyons as functional components of the

Valley Trail Corridor results in a negative impact on the ecosystem in the surrounding
