This popular route takes us through the heart of Pismo Preserve. The trail starts with a good climb then levels out and meanders among shady oak groves.
We take this route both clockwise and counter-clockwise for variety. Either way, about half way through the route we cross a raised walkway — listen for frogs, crickets, and other wildlife after a good rain. Download the official LCSLO trail map (PDF)
