The Hike
Start at the campground trailhead
Locate the signed trail access at Cerro Alto Campground. Check the trail map and choose your route before leaving the parking area.
Climb through woodland
The Forest Service describes a route following Morro Creek through oak woodland before reaching more open terrain.
Continue toward Cerro Alto
Follow the signed route toward the summit. Carry a current map to distinguish the trail junctions and loop options.
Return on your planned route
Allow time and water for the descent. Use the same approach back or a mapped loop that you have planned in advance.
