Buongiorno, Pismo! Walk. Wonder. Wow!

Join us for a coastal morning hike at the breathtaking Pismo Preserve as we follow the Spring to Spring trail. We’ll move, marvel, and make memories together — with Italian-inspired snacks, seaside views, and friendly faces to match.
☀️ Space is limited to 12 — RSVP to claim your spot!

Join us for a coastal hiking adventure with Friends of Italy at the stunning Pismo Preserve! We’ll follow the Spring to Spring Trail — a scenic 3-mile loop with ocean views, rolling hills, and plenty of fresh air. 🌊🌿

Led by member and trail host Charles, we’ll hike at a moderate pace with some uphill sections and loose gravel along the way. Bring your sense of adventure — and maybe a trail snack with a touch of Italy! 🇮🇹 (Think dried figs, focaccia, olives, or anything that brings a little gusto to your morning.)

🐾 Dogs are welcome — leashed and friendly! Please pack out poop.
📸 We’ll take a group photo at the end — say formaggio!
