Climbing on Morro Rock is prohibited by law as it is an ecological reserve and unauthorized entry will result in a fine.
The domed volcanic plug, with a peak elevation of 581 feet (or 177 meters), is an important protected habitat for nesting peregrine falcons and other wildlife.
Located in Morro Bay, California, between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Morro Rock is not to be confused with Moro Rock, spelled with one ‘r’, a granite dome rock formation in Sequoia National Park, California.
