What: Moderate-Hard, 2.5 mile out and back hike

Elevation Gain: 610.2

Black Hill is the second to last of nine volcanic plugs that lie between San Luis Obispo
and Morro Bay (the last being Morro Rock itself). The hike to the top travels through
Fleming’s Forest, a hillside of Monterey Pine trees that were planted by John Fleming (a
former park superintendent). It is rumored Black Hill received it’s name due to the tar
seep on the north side of the hill. This scenic and enjoyable hike can be done in a
couple of hours. After hiking, we will drive to Morro Rock and the town of Morro Bay for
a couple hours to explore the Rock and spot sea otters and to eat/shop in town.
This is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and trail running, so we’ll encounter other
people while exploring. If you choose to drive your POV, dogs are welcome, but must
be on leash.

Cost: $15

Includes guide and transportation.
