Bay Area Ridge National Scenic Trail Feasibility Study Act

This section amends the National Trails System Act (16 U.S.C. 1244(c)) to authorize a feasibility study for the "Bay Area Ridge National Scenic Trail." This trail is described as a multi-use path, approximately 550 miles long, that follows the ridgelines of the San Francisco Bay Area and connects over 75 parks and open spaces. The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to undertake this study to determine the feasibility of designating the Bay Area Ridge Trail as a national scenic trail. The study must involve consultation with relevant State, Tribal, and local government agencies, as well as other interested organizations, including the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council. Notably, the reported version of the bill removes a previous requirement for the study to be completed within one year.
