Lazarow World-Hike-About

We visited the park, Montana de Oro, on our way to Northern California and stopped in at Morro Bay on our return. This gave us another four days in a special place on the central coast. The regional park, in our opinion, is superior. It has challenging hikes with good ascents, gorgeous foliage, much color and views that are difficult to match, never mind beat. The ocean provides an additional array of sights but the real kicker is the cloud behavior over it and when they encroach over the land. The distinguished morros are an additional attraction ably supported by the bay in the distance. With weather that is mild, what more can a person ask for—a few more days in the region.  A scene quite early, before the sun stretched and shone fully. Shot chosen for the foliage but it also includes a hawk below. Just as we thought we were reaching the peak, 3 or 4 times, they were false. The morro, the bay and 'coincidentally', the town of Morro Bay A bench and table...

These may not be the most challenging of hikes but they do provide outlets to local hikers (including visitors) and good views. We always marvel at the gems that exist off the beaten track and of course, are known only to locals. A nice background as Jen makes her way along Billy Goat trail. While the other guy looks for a shady spot to sit, a little off trail. Jen waits patiently...I think. Moving onto Pismo Beach, Central Coastal California.   Dunes at rear, pier fore. Always appreciate color. There she goes...probably trying to create a gap from 'you know who'. Destination above, sort of getting our heads in the clouds. Coast line is invariably a curve.
