Cerro Cabrillo offers 360° Panoramic views of all of Morro Bay State Park and is one of the most rewarding hikes near San Luis Obispo.

Trailhead parking area is located on the eastern side of Morro Bay State Park alongside South Bay Boulevard. Parking easy to find.

Trailhead address: South Bay Boulevard, Morro Bay, CA 93442

Start at Quarry Trail and follow until trail splits left. Take a left at the junction and continue all the way to the top. Most of the trail is relatively flat with slight incline. Only after you take the left does the steep incline/climb begin. The trail can be slippery during the steep incline section and there is light rock climbing is required to get to the top (Funnest part).
