Autumn in SLO County is magical—and our hiking trails know it. As temperatures cool and foliage shifts, it’s time to hit the paths that make this season special.
Top Picks:
Montaña de Oro Bluff Trail (Los Osos) — 4.6 miles of bluffside beauty with ocean views and wildflowers aflame in fall tones.
Bishop Peak Trail — A local favorite offering panoramic town views without leaving city limits.
Rinconada Trailhead (Santa Margarita) — A short hike with artistic flair: spot a color-painted abandoned mine along the way.
Fiscalini Ranch Preserve (Cambria) — A coastal treat—boardwalk overlooks, ocean cliffs, pine shades, and fall’s welcoming air.
Why You'll Love It:
Clearer skies, fewer crowds, and crisp air make fall prime time for hiking. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a spirited climb, these trails deliver scenery, calm, and maybe a family foliage freeze-frame to remember.
