Distance: 0.4 miles

Description:
We took this trail from the Quarry Trail down to the Park Ridge Trail. It does connect with Live Oak Trail, close to Portola Hill. We did see a fair amount of poison oak on this part of the trail. Thing Two was careful to not brush against it; Thine One is fearless, and foolish, when it comes to this menace.
Because this trail goes across one of the Nine Sister morro's of Morro Bay, we were able to have a broad view of the Cerro Cabrillo. There is some interested information regarding the Cerro Cabrillo. They are ancient volcanic mountains of the plug type. The Sierra Club has an informational page, along with some advocacy for this area.
From
the sign by the Trail: Canet-Vicente Canet received a
land grant of 4,400 acres in 1840. The land known as Rancho San
Bernardo included much of Morro Bay. A large hacienda was built of
the properly. The Canet adobe was U-shaped, more than 200 feet in
length, with was three feet thick. IT was the Morro Castle at San
Bernardo Creek. Pedro Quintana purchased Rancho San Bernardo in
1874.
