Looking for an challenging outdoor activity? Bishop's Peak is a classic SLO hike - it starts off with a gentle climb and transitions into switchbacks and a short rock scramble at the top. In total it's 4 miles and 1200ft of elevation gain.

There are over 200 wineries in Paso Robles!!

Nicole's dad, Wayne Hay, is a wine man and his favorites are Pear Valley and Robert Hall in Paso Robles. We also enjoy Ancient Peaks in Santa Margarita. Heads-up that a lot of wineries require reservations ahead of time.

The California Central Coast is known for its Santa Maria-style barbecue: namely excellently grilled tri-tip! Firestone Grill is a classic example of the tri-tip sandwich, centrally located in downtown San Luis Obispo.

(Pictured is Mihir and Colin's first-ever attempt at tri-tip while in Morro Bay... Firestone will be better).

Walk along the Morro Bay Embarcadero (waterfront), see the stacks and the big Morro Bay Rock, and get some fish and chips at Giovanni's Fish Market!

San Luis Obispo has a collection of great breweries: Central Coast Brewing, Barrelhouse, and Libertine we quite enjoy. Liquid Gravity is a new brewery that's won some awards!

Downtown San Luis Obispo is a lovely place to walk around and see the old Mission, explore cute shops, and get a drink or some great food (like Firestone above)!

The famous historic mansion off of Highway 1 that is now a state park. Also has Hearst Ranch's San Simeon Tasting Room which is a lovely place to try some wine. Need to buy tickets before you go!
