Morning Glory - San Luis Obispo Trailhead - Sunday, March 21, 2010
Morning Glory - San Luis Obispo - San Luis Obispo County
Leave San Luis Obispo heading north on US Hwy 101 until you reach the top of Cuesta Grade. Enter the left turn lane, and cut across the southbound traffic to the turn out on the west side of Hwy 101. Follow the turnout road to the paved singl-lane road that goes upwards. Follow this up for about 5 miles until you reach the TV and Radio towers. It is very eroded blacktop road with lots of potholes. Just past the towers you will see a turn out on the left side of the road with a old gate about 25' feet down the road. The area is called the 'Botanical Gardens' and signed. Follow the singletrack around the old gate and down the old road. Follow the trail for about a mile. Make a left off of the road onto single track by a rock pile/marker. This is the Morning Glory trail. Follow this for about 5 miles until you reach another old road. Turn left on the old road and follow the trail up (this is called Shooters) until you reach the top of the grade again and eventually (about 4 miles) the same old eroded blacktop road. Follow this back to your car. If you go right where Morning Glory meets the old road and go down, you will find several different trails all of which lead to the RR and eventually to Poly Canyon or Stenner Canyon. Locals enter and exit the ride from this direction, but from outside of town it is probably easier to use the West Cuesta grade access.
