Today, Alan, his son Justin, and I hiked to the top of Valencia Peak which is located in Montana de Oro State Park. The views from the top were spectacular and wildflowers were in abundance. The hike to the top is steep in places but is accessible to just about anyone who works out two or three times a week or is willing to grind it out. While hiking down the mountain we spotted a point along the coast that was covered in yellow wildflowers and when we reached the bottom we decided to check it and was I sure glad. The yellow covered point along the coast was accessible via the Point Buchon Trail which is a relatively new trail just south of Montana de Oro. The coastline along this trail is absolutely spectacular, especially when the wildflowers are in bloom. Great day, good company, and stunning scenery. It doesn’t get any better than this.
