Sierra Club San Luis Obispo One Earth, One Chance Morro Rock, Home of the Peregrine Falcon Trail Guide Updates and Corrections

Unfortunately, the Sierra Club Trail Guide is not perfect. To help users of this book, we have posted a few corrections here to keep the user informed.

We are sorry for any problems this may have caused.

American Canyon to Buckeye Camp Hike

Page 178. It indicates that you can get a permit from the Forest Service, when the gate is closed.

Correction:

The road beyond the gate is private until you reach the American Canyon Trailhead. There is an agreement between the landowner and the Forest Service to have the gate opened for hunting season 6 weeks of the year (mid August to late September). During the other times of the year it may be possible to get permission to go through the gate with the permission of the Forest Service. There is no guarantee that they will grant permission. The Forest Service may make other suggestions on how to access this area. (Such as jumping over the gate). We do not know if an agreement is in place to allow foot traffic on this road when the gate is closed.

In any case, the Sierra Club does not support crossing private property, unless permission has been given by the landowner, government agency or where an agreement has been reached to allow public access.

The American Canyon Trail can be accessed via the Trout Creek Trailhead, or via Caldwell Mesa.
