52 Hike Challenge 2016 Adventure Series
10.25 miles | +1500'
The uniqueness of Morena Butte is in the dramatic divide of
the different landscapes. You first weave past Lake Morena along the Pacific
Crest Trail, through rock fields and chaparral slopes, then along a pleasant
meadow with scattered oaks and pines. As you approach the summits, the
well-marked trail disappears, making the rocky climb one of adventure and
reward. The climb over rocky ridges and tight passageways offers spectacular
views of Lake Morena and Hauser Canyon. This hike also has the bonus of
offering a loop, instead of just a there-and-back route. This trek is best in
the spring and early summer, when wildflowers are on display.
