Polyland Hiking Guide

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Cal Poly is filled with a variety of trails and paths. It gives you the chance to see everything from architectural experiments from the 1960s, to serene creek sides overflowing with vegetation.Hikes take any where from one hour to a full day. Considering the constant change in San Luis Obispos weather it is wise to bring water, a light weight jacket, and plenty of sun-block.Listed below are a some great trails with links to maps and photos.
