Chumash Mortar Holes
The start of the El Chorro hike is easy, strolling on a decomposing roadway. There are interesting oak and sycamore trees along the road side and in the fields. Approximately two tenths of a mile from the gate where you enter the Dairy Creek Trail, there is the trailhead to Eagle Rock Trail.
Eagle Rock Trail is moderate, approximately seven tenths of a mile long, and gains in elevation almost 340 feet. The view from the top of the trail, Eagle Rock, is well worth the hike. You look over Camp San Luis Obispo and Cuesta College.
The hike, because of its elevation gain, takes about an hour to complete. The area is now owned and overseen by San Luis Obispo County, and they take very good care of the area. At the bottom of the hike, the county has a large park with outdoor play equipment for the kids, sports fields for the adults along with an interesting art museum and botanical gardens.
