The City of San Luis Obispo is full of hidden hiking gems. We want you to get out of your routine and try a new hike (or seven).  To entice you, if you are up to it, a commemorative prize is in store for those who complete the #PixOnPeaks challenge! 

 

Round 3.0 (Future)

Win this bandana if you hike the designated trails throughout Irish Hills! More details on this upcoming challenge in the near future.

Round 2.0 (Complete)

The Challenge:

Seven “peaks” have been designated by the Open Space Team as spots

Step 2: Tag your photo with the hashtag #PixOnPeaks, as well as the hashtag for the particular location where the photo was taken (see photos below for where to take your Pix and what hashtags to use).
