trip report by site editor Rick McCharles
By far the most popular hike in this California State Park …
Montaña de Oro Bluff Nature Walk
Take a pleasant hike along the Bluff Trail for magnificent views and likely looks at a variety of birds, plants and sea life. Binoculars helpful. … Bluff Trailhead, 200 yards south of Visitor Center … . 4.2 mi., 3 hrs return.
The highlight for me in March were these ….
The name “Mountain of Gold” comes from the golden wildflowers found in the park.
The trail winds along the coast. Beautiful.
If weather permits, you can get right down on the tidal shelf.
A wonderful walk, easily accessible to all levels of experience.
