Central Coast Day Hike - California

Join TVOP volunteer Forest for a kickoff event on the Central Coast of California with a short and gorgeous hike outside of San Luis Obispo! We will be hiking about 3 miles round trip with 750 feet of elevation gain. This trail switchbacks up through semi-shaded creek and oak habitat, past rare and endemic plants. The trail ends at a summit with beautiful views of San Luis Obispo and out towards Morro Bay. There is poison oak on this trail, so we recommend wearing long pants during the hike.
We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. This event is intended for the LGBTQ+ community. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated on the hike.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
