To amend the National Trails System Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study on the feasibility of designating the Bay Area Ridge National Scenic Trail, and for other purposes.

HR 7254 requests a study to evaluate designating the Bay Area Ridge Trail as a National Scenic Trail. The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to complete a feasibility study within one year, consulting with the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council and relevant agencies. The study would assess the 550-mile trail - currently 415 miles completed - connecting over 75 parks and open spaces across the San Francisco Bay Area. This bill does not designate the trail as a National Scenic Trail but initiates a review process to determine its potential for that status. The study would examine the trail’s scenic, historic, and recreational value, including its connections to urban areas and natural features like the Golden Gate Bridge and San Andreas Fault.
