trip report by site editor Rick McCharles
I did a 6.6mi loop in Montaña de Oro State Park, California near San Luis Obispo.
My variation started up the Manzanita Trail. Visited Hazard Summit. And returned on Ridge Trail.
Here are a few pics of my (sadly) fogged in day hike.
Manzanita trailhead is at Group Horse Camp.
Visibility was not good.
Atop the summit. (1076ft) … In the clouds.
I’d be happy to recommend this hike. … Except for the long walk back to my car along the coastal road.
Better would be to loop and then backtrack on Manzanita.
I might have enjoyed it more if I’d had gorgeous views over the Pacific.
