At 1,500-plus feet high, Bishop Peak is one of the highest points in the area. It’s the tallest mountain in the Morros/Santa Lucia mountain range. Some twenty-five million years ago, magma welled up from the earth’s core to form the dacite mountain. So, Bishop Peak has some unique geological features. In years past, its granite has provided stones for many area buildings. Today, the thin, volcanic soil supports a number of vegetation and wildlife species not found elsewhere. You may also prefer to take your San Luis Obispo rental RV to one of several hiking trails. The Patricia Drive Trailhead offers a gradual, 4.2-mile jaunt from ground level to the summit. Or, you may prefer the “Oh, Man” trail. We’ll let you figure out the reason for this nickname on your own. Nearby Cerro San Luis Obispo is geologically similar, but the sides are much steeper. So, it’s a popular spot for energetic joggers, hikers, and mountain bikers. The lemon and orange groves, which a Civil War veteran planted around the turn of the 20th century, make what the locals call San Luis Mountain even more unique. After you explore the mountain, for a nice change of pace, swap out your San Luis Obispo RV rental for a night at the Madonna Inn, which is at the base of the mountain. Since it’s open twenty-four hours a day, the South Hills Open Space is a wonderful place to take your San Luis Obispo motorhome rental. This area is a true open space with few clearly-marked trails. Instead, visitors can find their own spot to enjoy views of SLO, overhead passing airplanes, the changing seasons, or a sunset. While there, visitors can catch glimpses of native plants and wildlife in this unspoiled little corner of a charming Northern California town.
