The Museum Trail in Morro Bay is a popular and short 0.5mi outdoor trail that offers a scenic and educational experience for visitors. This trail is part of the larger network of trails in the Morro Bay State Park, and it is specifically designed to provide access to the Museum of Natural History while showcasing the natural beauty and wildlife of the area.
The trail offers stunning views of Morro Bay, the iconic Morro Rock, and the surrounding estuary. It’s a great spot for photography, especially during sunrise or sunset when the light plays beautifully on the landscape.
The Museum of Natural History at the end of the trail provides exhibits on the local ecology, geology, and cultural history of the area. The museum is a great resource for learning about the natural environment of Morro Bay and its importance as a habitat for numerous species.
