Black Hill Trail

A series of nine peaks between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay originated as volcanoes beneath the sea that covered this area some fifteen million years ago. Black Hill, the last peak in the volcanic series before Morro Rock, has a trail that tours a little of everything - chaparral, eucalyptus, oaks, pines, and coastal shrubs. Start from a trailhead parking area in Morro Bay State Park just up the hillside from Morro Bay Golf Course.
