Hit the trails
When the much-anticipated Pismo Preserve opens this fall, the public will have access to 15 miles of multiuse trails and gorgeous vistas.
[...] here are three other scenic treks to try.
The 3-mile Bob Jones Bike Trail is named for the environmental conservation pioneer who spent years focused on San Luis Obispo Creek; it fittingly follows the meandering waterway to Avila Beach.
A number of bike rental spots, restaurants and more wine tasting rooms than ever — and the beach — await in Avila.
The Nine Sisters define San Luis Obispo topography, and Cerro Cabrillo in eastern Morro Bay State Park is one of the most accessible ways to experience the landmark volcanic lumps.
From Highway 1 in Morro Bay, take exit 277 toward Los Osos and Baywood Park, turn south on South Bay Boulevard and drive 1.4 miles to the trailhead.
The 3.7-mile Johnson Ranch Loop explores rolling grassy hills, with shorter loops available and minimal jumps in elevation.
