Point Buchon Trail panoramic - wildflowers, bluffs and caves with ocean view

Point Buchon Trail offers some of the most scenic views of the Central Coast coastline, perfectly preserved and protected. The trail is a 6.6 mile roundtrip hike located on the northern end of PG&E property and is accessed through MontaÃÂ±a de Oro State Park. This scenioastal trail has been open to the public since 2007 and is known for its panoramic views of beautiful headlands and off-shore sea stacks. PG&E follows predator-friendly ranch practices so that hikers may observe bobcats, coyotes and badgers and other wildlife. Golden eagles, peregrine falcons, and numerous hawk and passerine species are often observed flying above the coastal bluffs. In addition, the nearshore marine habitats and pristine tidepools support a wide variety of marine wildlife visible from the trail. Brown pelican, black oystercatcher, southern sea otter, and migrating grey whales are common sights. Wildflowers flourish in the spring, a benefit of PG&E`s rotational grazing practices.
