i encountered no Hazards
I did an out and back to the peak as my time was limited. I started around 0730 as I still had a long drive home, glad I did. This trail has a lot of sun exposure, would be pretty hot in warmer weather. The early start was also nice as I didn’t see anyone else until after I had summited and was heading back down. I saw five bike riders in total, it was easy to step off trail to let them pass. I saw no hikers during my hike. The peak had a nice view of Morro Bay. There was a picnic table and two benches to sit on. There was a dirt pullout/parking area directly across from the trailhead, no bathrooms; there are bathrooms at the Spooner Ranch House parking area not that far away. Be careful driving in there as were deer on the road when I visited. There is a campground also within the park if you are interested in camping. You can find a downloadable trails map and park brochure on the state park website. I didn’t find the peaks here too difficult, if you are short on time you could probably do both Hazard and Oats Peak in the same day.
