Los Angeles County App and Website
In 2019, LA County launched Trails LA County mobile app and relaunched their website. The app is built around offline mapping and navigation, so that you won't go off-track just because your cell phone cuts out. The site offers detailed planning tools to help find the perfect trail for you--choose from the more than 550 miles of public trails countywide.

Emergency Location System
The City of Santa Clarita has implemented an Emergency Location System to assist rescue workers in locating distressed hikers. Signs with location numbers are located throughout the trail system, to be used only in the event of an emergency when dialing 911. (Calling 911 will bring Fire, Sheriff, and Search & Rescue to your aid.)
