Morro Rock is a prominent geological landmark located in Morro Bay, California. It's a 581-foot-tall volcanic plug that was formed about 23 million years ago, making it one of the last remaining peaks of the Nine Sisters, a chain of extinct volcanoes.
The Rock is not only a natural wonder but also an important cultural site for the Chumash people, who consider it a sacred place. Spanish explorers named it "El Morro" because it reminded them of a Moorish fortress.
Today, the Rock is a popular tourist destination and attracts visitors from all over the world who come to admire its impressive size and natural beauty.
