The Pacific Crest Trail was the focus of the popular memoir "Wild," and will get even more attention when a Hollywood movie starring Reese Witherspoon comes out next week. By comparison, the California Coastal Trail is relatively unknown. It runs from the Mexico border up to Oregon, and has some of the most breathtaking ocean views. Problem is ... it runs through many people's backyards, and even though the public has a right to access that land, the trail has taken almost 40 years to build. But as Vinnee Tong reports, a law signed earlier this year by Governor Brown could finally help finish it, and open it up to everyone.
