December 19, 2020Nice hike. Easy trail to follow. Beautiful views of the ocean.
October 24, 2020The trail has a pretty decent climb to the top. I would advise taking the detour to the summit for the best views.
October 7, 2020October 6, 2020July 20, 2020Get hike that is short and packs a good elevation punch - highly recommended
July 8, 2020Not a very good trail for trail running... Loose gravel and rocks that cause slipping and inability to catch footing. Grasses also becoming overgrown into the trail.
June 26, 2020Very nice hike. When the trail splits, to the right it is very rocky. I'm glad we were going up instead of going down. On the way down, the past was very wide and all dirt. Even walked by some grazing cows on the path.
March 8, 2020overcrowded, but a great view.not my favourite trail in the area...but you need to do it at least once.
February 28, 2020Hiked this trail 1/26/2020 Beautiful easy hike. It was such a beautiful sunny day.
February 14, 2020This is a fun trail - particularly the backside (past the “M”) with its charming rocky paths, raised wooden platforms and sprawling oaks. Pretty easy overall, although you can choose to go the steeper way on the way up, which got my heart rate up. Loved the prickly pears and lemon grove. It is easily accessed from downtown SLO and there is plenty of room in the lot for parking. It was moderately busy on the trail, but not overwhelming.
February 2, 2020November 15, 2019Not sure how to rate this. I’m so thankful for the little peaks here. We don’t have altitude, but what you can get is 1000 feet of vertical from either San Luis Mtn or Bishop Peak. Close by, easy to access and a pretty good workout. Make of it what you will, it can help you get ready for the Sierras, Rockies, or Alps, I happen to love it.
October 1, 2019September 15, 2019Tried this trail out when I first moved to SLO. A great first hike, indeed! You get a beautiful view of SLO from the top and the way down is fairly shady which is always nice for a good cool down. 10/10 recommend!
August 24, 2019Very popular hike. On a road for the majority of the way. Nice views. Not as good of a hike as neighboring Bishop Peak.
August 4, 2019Great loop. Gets a little rocky coming down from the summit.
July 17, 2019great hike did it 1hr 45 min long way up and fire trail down the other side....
June 28, 2019go clock wise. start to the left
June 2, 2019highly trafficked, but it is gorgeous from the top. avoid midday as the air is usually thick and hot.
February 19, 2019Great view and fun hike! I made a bit of a deviation from going to the top but a helpful couple told me how to get up there so I added abt .6 to the final hike. Beautiful view especially this time of year!
February 15, 2019Went during recent rains.... refreshing trail but needs a break from the rain. Ruts and Rocks just waiting to crank an ankle... if you’re running.... but other than that.... so awesome when all you see is green and water everywhere.... Sweet! Seems like cows or people have provided plenty of options for off-shoots...allowing the ability to elongate these trails without bushwhacking and still remaining on trail.
December 26, 2018Great view from the top, and we got to walk through a field of cows which I liked
December 14, 2018Really Good Workout.
November 5, 2018Great hike today. Wide trails
September 8, 2018Mostly doing flat land trails in Austin this is fantastic change. Beautiful views all the way up, if no marine layer obviously. I've seen folks from 6 to 86 on this trail. As a side note, I lost my wallet on the trail. After realizing later, we went back and found it by a billboard fully intact. Folks here are top notch. As a plus, multiple breweries within 2 miles once you're done. Enjoy!
