We Should Hike - Pismo Preserve

Difficulty level: 2.5 out of 5

We should be active- together!

Meet and stretch 9:30-10am.

Pismo Preserve is a great nice workout! It has multiple trails to hike for some excellent views of the coastline, and even into the San Luis hills (if you can get to the top of the panhandle). Trails can take 45min-2hours depending on what trails you want to take.

Whether you came to our previous events, or you're just looking to meet kind, interesting people in the area, this is a chance to get outside, have good conversations, and make some new friends.
We'll take an easy-to-moderate loop through the trails, pause at a few scenic overlooks, and let conversations happen naturally along the way. No awkward icebreakers or pressure—just a friendly group of people enjoying the outdoors together.

What to bring:

• Comfortable walking/athletic shoes
• Water
• Sun protection
• A positive attitude

Dogs are welcome if they're friendly and comfortable around other people and dogs.

We'll meet at the parking lot to stretch, then we'll check in and head out together at 10am. The trails are 1–7 miles at varying difficulty. What trails we go on depends on the experience of the group. Great views of the ocean and our beautiful coastline!

Whether you come with friends or by yourself, we'd love to have you. Sometimes the best conversations happen while walking side by side.
Let's get outside and get to know our community.

Note: There is poison oak on the trail, and potential to run into wildlife. Craig will be a guide on poison oak prevention and what to do if you do touch it.

Where to meet:
We'll be meeting by the bathroom and bulletin board at the parking lot, next to the trail head,
