On Friday, February 21, 2025 at 8:30 AM we will hike the Eagle Rock & Oak Woodland Tail plus extension at El Chorro Regional Park in SLO.  This is SOFT hardness 3 mile hike with a 589 foot elevation change.  It will take about 2 1/2 hours.  From the parking lot shown in the picture below, we will proceed up Dairy Creek Road.  Along the way, we will pass the famous Mike Sims Oasis which features a quiet lagoon shaded by trees.  Moving clockwise, we will skirt Oaks, pass a Chumash acorn-grinding area and cut across a meadow.  We will have views of the Morros and Camp SLO, but the National Guard eagle emblem will be out of sight around the hill.  We will return 0.3 mi to the junction with Oak Woodland Trail following it for a mile through the oaks and a meadow to Dairy Creek Road and the parking lost.

To get there, take Hwy 1 toward Morro Bay.  Opposite Cuesta College, turn right at the Hollister Ave. signal into El Chorro Regional Park.  See the picture below.  Follow Dairy Creek Rd. to the right past an entrance shed (no charge until April) to the parking area shown.
