About this place

Added by Haley Baker

Explore the cliffs of Montaña de Oro State Park on a paved path that takes you through some of the best vistas the park has to offer.

The Bluff Trail is a simple walk that takes you along the coast in Montaña de Oro. The trailhead is located just past Spooner's Cove and has parking on both sides of the road. The path is paved, making it easily accessible for anyone who wants to enjoy these incredible views.

If you're feeling adventurous, the paved path has small, dirt pathways leading off of it that will take you closer to the edge of the cliffs. If cliffs aren't your cup of tea, the opposite side of the path offers great views of the mountains and if its springtime, fields of wildflowers that give the park its name: "Mountain of Gold."

This is a great place to catch the sunset, but be sure to bring a jacket for after the sun goes down.
