👍👍 One of the most scenic, well maintained trails to take in the Avila/San Luis Obispo area! The trail is a 5.1 mile trail out to the ocean and back to main trail head. Beautiful scenic views including walking past a Buddhist temple, the Sycamore Hot Springs, and a cute watering hole called the Secret...

👍👍 Every time I hike this trail it looks different. I truly love it. It’s not an easy hike. I would not recommend for children under 10. Its however a great path. Paved and gorgeous views.

👍👍 Not a hard hike at all for a 55 yr old slightly out of shape woman. I rated as moderate because it is not simply a dirt/ gravel trail. It is a little rocky in places but nothing I couldn't handle. I did the shorter loop & can't wait to go back & try a longer one

👍👍 Love this hike. Cerro San Luis is also known as Madonna Mt. So many beautiful oaks. Peace and tranquility guaranteed.

My hike was a loop 7 miles, around 1,200 feet of the elevation gain. I was started at something very interestin...

👍👍 When you get to the parking lot there's 2 trails. If you go left up the trail head, it's a nice hike around the mountain. If you go right, it leads up to the ore processing area for the mercury mine. If you continue past the processing area and make the climb up the hill you come to the mouth of the...

👍👍 Big Falls in Santa Lucia. It is about 50 minutes away from Avila beach. On the way driving into the park, I was able to see Lopez lake. ( very pretty). Mountain, mountains so manny of them makes me remember KCNT. Sharing road but not many car so no need to worried about it. ( enjoying epic panoramic...

👍👍 Beautiful trail, doable with a 5 & 7 year olds in sandals! Some narrow paths, some steep incline, scenic 360° SLO. We saw a coyote or fox (?) in the cow trails, but felt safe on the trails. Highly recommend for families.
