*Description*: **3.8 miles, 604’ total elevation gain**

Enjoy a moderately challenging hike to experience one of Southern California’s most spectacular ocean views; optional dip in the ocean at the end of the hike! 



From the inland edge of the Lower Moro Parking Lot, start your gentle ascent on the Moro Canyon Trail amidst canyon walls on both sides. At 1.1 miles, fork left on the Mach One trail and begin a steeper ascent of 0.7 miles to the No Name Ridge - a smooth, wide fire road.



At 1.8 miles, turn left to return toward ocean. Enjoy expansive views of the Pacific as you gradually, then more steeply, descend to reach the main El Moro upper parking lot at mile 3.1. Proceed on sidewalk through parking lot and turn left onto trail that parallels the original paved road you took to the lower parking lot. Proceed downhill to Lower Moro Parking Lot and complete 3.8-mile loop. 



Continue through parking lot toward ocean reach the El Moro Tunnel Parking Lot. You can cross through the tunnel under Pacific Coast Highway to reach the beach and dip your toe, or more, in celebration. *Note*: the tunnel is often flooded so it may be a barefoot excursion to the beach. 



You can also make this an easy out\&back hike with minimal elevation gain by hiking 1.1 miles on El Moro Canyon trail to the Mach One trail fork, then turning back to parking lot for a 2.2-mile journey (from upper parking lot, a bit longer from Tunnel parking lot.)
