East Cuesta ridge is a very scenic hike which offers great views of San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Mussel Rock an the surrounding area. The trail is a dirt road behind a locked gate. Starting at the top of Cuesta Grade. This is a great training hike and for those who hate poison oak, you'll have no problems. We will meet in the dirt parking lot. Drive on Hwy 101 North to the top of the Cuesta Grade. Veer right off the highway when you reach the top of the grade. Email Rob at outdoors@ypng.org if you have any questions.
