Point Buchon Trail
near Montaña de Oro State Park

San Luis Obispo | Trails No Comments » | Trail Rating: ForgetableAverageGoodGreat Loading ... Loading ...
South of Los Osos and Montaña de Oro State Park, there is a stunning stretch of coastline that includes the historic headland Point Buchon. The area was closed to the public until 2007 when landowner PG&E opened Point Buchon Trail and began allowing hikers to access the picturesque waterfront. Point Buchon Trail travels across grassy bluffs overlooking a rugged shoreline with mesmerizing cliff formations. The trail is 3.4 miles from end to end, and there is a 1 1/3-mile loop at that start for those looking for something shorter. The loop can also be used to trim the out-and-back hike to 6.25 miles. Minimal elevation change and excellent views make Point Buchon Trail suitable and enjoyable for all.
