View along the Cerro Alto Trail

The 2,624-foot summit of Cerro Alto is one of the highest points in San Luis Obispo County and delivers a panoramic view. It seems like you can see the entire county from the top of the commanding peak, including each of the volcanic peaks stretching between Morro Bay and Edna Valley, the Nine Sisters. There are a couple ways to the summit, each tackling 1,600 feet of elevation between the trailhead at Cerro Alto Campground and the cerro’s summit. The shortest route is a steep 1.95-mile ascent.

Not everyone is inclined or prepared physically for the trip to the top. Good adventure and views can be had through a partial ascent of this trail. A more gradual trail can be taken to a junction part way up the mountain for a 2.75-mile route that is recommended for the hike up. We have left a few breadcrumbs to tempt you along the way. Take water, have fun!
