The Bureau of Land Management will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday for the new Badger Hills Trailhead at Fort Ord National Monument.
The event is set for 10 a.m. Friday, while BLM State Director Jim Kenna, Congressman Sam Farr, Monterey County Supervisor David Potter and others will participate.
According to a statement from the BLM, the trailhead is located along Highway 68 about three-fourths of a mile northeast of the San Benancio Road intersection, and three and one-quarter miles southwest of the Reservation Road intersection.
Highway improvement and trailhead construction used pooled funding through BLM, the Federal Highway Administration and the California Department of Transportation. This partnership, supported by Monterey County, provides safer and more convenient access to BLM’s newest national monument.
