WHAT:  Perfumo Canyon Road
WHO SHOULD GO: Hikers and Cyclists HOW TO GET THERE: From Hwy 101 take the Madonna Road Exit West.   Proceed to Los Osos Valley Road, turn right.  Perfumo Canyon Road is less than a mile on the left. WHERE TO PARK:  Park on the dirt turnout on the left side of dirt road. HIGHLIGHTS:  A moderately challenging bike ride or hike in a beautifully natural canyon so very close to the city. TRAIL CHARACTER and DISTANCE:  Use the bike lane on this paved road for the first half mile.  At 2.5 miles the road becomes a view maintained dirt road with some paved areas.  The road climbs to 1360' winding over rolling hills and through ancient oaks.  Spectacular view of Morro Bay and six of the volcanic peaks award you at the top of this moderately strenuous climb. CAUTION:  Cattle are often on the road.  The property on both sides of the road is private, please respect all fences.
