See all- Hiking SLO: An Introduction to Local TrailsREI San Luis Obispo, San Luis Obispo, CA
Hello hikers. From Montaña de Oro to Pismo Preserve to the many morros, SLO County is full of great dayhiking and walking trails. If you’re new to the area or a local who wants to start hiking, join me at REI to learn about ten of our most common hikes. Based on my experience organizing hikes, I’ll cover:
- Routes we take often, from easy walks to challenging treks
- Plenty of photos and details on each
- Gear you need (and don’t)
- Microclimates and planning for weather
- Safety, laws, and common courtesy
This talk is intended for locals who want to start hiking, hikers new to the area, or anyone curious about the variety in our back yard. To join this event, you must sign up for free at REI’s website. Looking forward to guiding you around SLO’s local hikes.
