San Luis Obispo Peaks Linkup




I've been training to get in shape to lead Outward Bound courses this summer.
I thought it would be fun to hike the three tallest peaks around town
as a continuous effort.

It turned out to be about 13 miles (3 on bicycle) and 3473' elevation gain in six hours.
I wasn't racing, just walking at a steady pace.
