California Hiking Trails!

The Point Buchon Trail is not part of Montana De Oro  The Land is own by PG&E.  A couple of years ago they opened the the trail up to the public.  You might have to dodge a cow or two but you will have a fantastic time hiking this trail.

This hike is not as strenuous as Velencia or the Oats trails but it will give you a good work out mingled with fresh air and outrageous views of Morro Bay and other areas of the coast.

Oats Peak is the second highest peak in Montana De Oro State Park. It is 1373 feet above sea level. Out of all the California Hiking Trails this is one of the most interesting hikes in the region.



Regardless of the reason, for allowing the public to enjoy this California Hiking Trail, it is a real benefit to the locals and visitors to our great county.
