Dogs are allowed on the trail. Rock climbing & bouldering aplenty.

Keep it simple & pack comfortable clothes.

California may have some of the most upscale metropolitan cities in the USA, but the Central Coast is all about "the SLO life", where everyone wears flip flops & a smile. Pack your best sun dress or beach attire, don't forget your hat, and get outside 360 days a year in comfort. Be sure to bring layers, as it may be chilly in the morning, with warm afternoons, and breezy evenings - you know, your typical Coastal California weather!
