Morro Rock served as an important mariner's landfall for over 300 years and was chronicled in the diaries of Portola, Fr. Crespi and Costanso in 1769, when they camped near this area on their trek to find Monterey. Sometimes called the "Gibraltar of the Pacific," it is the last in the famous chain of nine peaks that begins in the city of San Luis Obispo.
