Geocache Description:

Having a bit of fun with the Hazard Peak Trail name.

This little beauty is just hanging around, waiting to be found!

Parking and trailhead coordinates: N 35° 16.634 W 120° 53.080

This is my favorite hike in the park. Though there is a smidge over 1000 feet of elevation change, the trail is so well laid out there are no real steep parts. It also offers continued great views of Morro Bay along the way. Fantastic!

Montaña de Oro State Park is packed with so many picturesque places that it can be difficult to settle on just one day hike. However, if you are looking for broad, unobstructed views over Morro Bay, you should feel compelled to set out for the top of Hazard Peak. Looking north from this coastal 1,076-foot summit, you won’t see anything even half as tall as Hazard Peak for about 15 miles, giving you a full view of the dune-lined coast backed by the iconic Morro Rock. Hazard Peak (named after a previous landowner, Alexander Hazard, and not for some grand danger) has 360-degree views that extend west over the Pacific and east and south over the Irish Hills. The 6-mile round trip hike to the summit spreads plentiful ocean views over a 1,025-foot climb that is as satisfying as they come.
