The easternmost hill in the Central Coast chain known as The Nine Sisters. A narrow dirt path switchbacks across the north side of the hill. At the top are great views of San Luis Obispo and The Edna Valley. Also at the top, a 10ft climbing pole for extra views
Beautiful panoramic views, trail is well maintained but narrow and steep. There are sometimes cows on the trail as well. The surprise at the top is also really fun, but the biting flies are not.

It was a good short little hike, took about two hours with dilly dalling included. There are three different enterances to the one shown, but I uploaded the picture that shows all three trails. It was a beautiful view of a different side of slo
So perfect for a short hike in town if you only have an hour or so.
Super short. Good for kids.
This is a great 1.8 mile quick trail. I do it on my lunch when I need to get out of the office and burn calories. Great scenery, with a steady uphill and narrow path. You'll see a cow when you've reached the top.
Short, easy trail that is Well maintained. Nice views from the top
Nice local option. there is an oak tree 1/3 mile up the trail with a rope swing the kids love.
Beautiful views, but careful of the ball-bearing scree (decomposed granite on hardpan) on your way down!
