Starts just off the freeway with a slight walk to a waterfall. Then wander on a relatively flat hike for a short time - then the hike begins. It's a fairly steep climb but you are rewarded with amazing views of SLO, the coast, Edna Valley and the hills.

A 6 mile hike through a beautiful canyon. Few other hikers, lots of birds and lovely plants. Great to take on hot days, as much of the hike is protected from the sun.
