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

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!
Good hike and great view.
Great little hike! We went early in the morning and it was a quick 30 minute or less hike! You can climb up the pole at the top to get a better view or everything. I love the little notebook at the top where people can write name, date, where they are from, etc! Perfect for trail running!
