Today was the first time I hiked the Point Buchon Trail. The views along this hike were stunning. Point Buchon is a trail along the coast just a bit south of Montana de Oro State Park. The coastline along this stretch reminds me of the rocky and rugged coastline north of Bodega Bay on the Northcoast. During the springtime the bluffs are covered with a carpet of yellow flowers and poppies which makes the short loop walk spectacular, some of the best on the Central Coast. Point Buchon Trail is currently owned and maintained by PG /E and is open to the public Wednesday through Monday. The trail can be reached by the same road that takes you to the bluff trail at Montana de Oro. If you like Montana de Oro, you will love the Poin Buchon trail.
