The Ranger Service works to provide both educational and recreational opportunities to the community of San Luis Obispo. The City's 4,000 acres of designated open space promise to have something for everyone. Rugged hiking trails, challenging mountain biking and leisurely scenic pathways can be found just minutes from downtown. Open spaces in and around SLO demonstrate the beauty and diversity that characterize California's famed Central Coast. Within just 5 miles of the city center, outdoor enthusiasts can find themselves exploring marshy wetlands, traversing mature growth woodlands or viewing hidden waterfalls.
