On Friday, May 2, 2025 at 8:30 AM we will hike the Felsman Loop Trail east of San Luis Obispo.  This is a SOFT hike covering 2.4 miles with an elevation change of 570 feet.  We will hike in a counter-clockwise-direction so as to place the greater elevation change at the start of the trail when we are fresher and to minimize the impact on joints as we go down.  Less chance of slipping on loose stones also.  And for the physicists in our group, CCW will allow the Coriolis force to propel us forward! 

​

The signage on this trail must be designed to confuse.  The trail is called the Felsman Loop; the kiosk calls it Bishop Peak and the Trailhead sign reads Patricia Dr. trailhead.  The trail has a reputation for getting lost so we will definitely be using our GPS map.​

​

To Get There - From Santa Rosa and Foothill in SLO, drive West on Foothill to Patricia Drive.  Turn right on Patricia and continue 0.7 mile to the Signed Trailhead on the left; just past Patricia Ct.  Plenty of parking on both sides of the street. Please let Russ Bik (rbik@me.com) know you will be coming.
