Farmer's Market:
We recommend checking out SLO's famous Farmer's Market on Thursday's from 6pm-8:30pm, if you're planning on arriving early. It's downtown San Luis Obispo and they block off most of Higuera Street for it. You can park on Peach street or on Pacific Street for free parking.
Hikes to Explore in San Luis Obispo County:
- Bishop's Peak (in San Luis Obispo drive to Foothill Blvd turn on Patricia Drive and turn left on Highland Drive to get to trialhead and park on the street) Views of all of SLO from the top.
- Reservoir Canyon (Drive Northbound on the 101 past Cal Poly and leaving SLO and turn right off the highway on Reservoir Canyon Road the road will turn to dirt around the parking area and trialhead) Views of SLO and Cuesta Grade from the top. Waterfall runs at the bottom of the trial on high rainfall years.
-Valencia Peak (Drive to Los Osos and continue on Los Osos Valley Road and eventually it will turn into Pecho Valley Road continue on Pecho Valley for about 4 miles park in dirt parking lot) Views of the ocean and Morro Rock at the top.
