Montana de Oro State
Park is a very beautiful park that has lots to offer to any visitor. This park
is located along the coast of Los Osos, which is about ten to fifteen miles
west of San Luis Obispo. Along the way to the park one can find convenient
stores and grocery stores where you can stock up on goods. The park gets
heavily visited by day hikers, college students and people that are into
outdoor sports.

Morning at Montana De Oro State Park |
While I hiked the
cliffs, a Condor glided bye and followed the edge of sand cliffs. I couldn’t
help to imagine an aged cuirass protecting a soldier from an old armada galleon
setting foot on the coast. Climbing these sand dunes for god and glory and
finding maidens sitting, watching the sun go down. The smell of wild sage and
sweet blossoms mixing with the desperate sweat of danger and opportunity, for a
moment a flash crossed my mind.
