Amazing place for beginner-intermediate hiking... Great views and worth the energy required to do it

This trail is well groomed, has just the right amount of slope, stays shaded most of the time, provides some options to lengthen or shorten it and has some nice views.

Good fun here...i am glad they developed the way they did. I used to ride horses here before it was a preserve. Beautiful, quiet and good place for a family hike or walk the dog!!

Lovely trail in the oaks. Lots of educational info on the flora and fauna. Great for kids

It was a great hike easy and beautiful I highly recommend it.

It was a nice hiking spot. My husband and I took our 3 young kids (3 year lods and 18 month old) with us. Very doable for young kids. The loved look at all the trail markers and wildlife.

Nice 3.5 mile loop trail run or hike. Moderate traffic, best first thing in the morning.

A very pleasant walking trail, our sharp-eyed son spotted lizards and a snake in the grass beside the trail (not a rattlesnake!) nice views and plenty of shade on the loop track.

A nice 2 mile climb with fabulous views.

Its a good bigginer trail. Great for dog

Great short hike. Variety of environments. Varying distances to choose from. Moderate incline on the way up and downhill most of the way down. The midportion would be pretty hot when the weather is above 85 or so because its exposed. Lower part is mostly in the trees.

We love to hike the three bridges trail with our pup and then let him take a little dip in the creek after! Short easy hike and pretty setting right here in Atascadero.

Very good trail for a couple of hours of hiking. Elevation gain of 669 feet, distance of 3.5 miles. Probably not a trail you would take when temperatures exceed 85 degrees, but much of the year it would be fine. We went on a Monday afternoon in September and saw only 2 other people. A bit dusty at times, but not awful. Probably a little too challenging for a kid under 8 years old.

Great hike just outside of Atascadero. Wide trail that is routinely maintained, with signs along the way describing local plant life. The lower section zig zags up through a grassy grove of blue oak trees. The upper section goes through sections of chaparral intermixed with pockets of dense oak groves. Toward the top there is a beautiful cluster of madrone trees. And at the very top, a vista looking over much of north county with a sign that highlights local landmarks.I dropped a star because the trail parking lot is not always open. The slightest rain closes the parking lot. This just causes people to park elsewhere to access the trail.

Best hike in Atascadero. Great view at the top, plenty of shade, a nice workout but not overwhelming. Very good vibes 10/10 for vibes

This was a great little hike with multiple options with various options with varying levels of difficulty. It was mostly shaded which is a huge plus, especially in the summer!

This is a great trail with plenty of Oaks, wildflowers, pines, squirrels, bunnies in spots and amazing scenery at the top. Going up its all uphill so a very good heart workout. Dogs are allowed on this trail on leash, you will see runners and other friendly hikers along the way. I walk this one with my hiking boots as its easier on the knees and ankles. I also see many hikers with trekking poles which is helpful. Love this hike and highly recommend! Not super long, but your first time walking it youll start wondering where is the top? Are we close yet? lol

Up hill.. But all in all nice

Great hike, trails could use a little work but overall still agreat place.

First, I am not sure why some revie claimed this okace is hard to find. There are signs posted through out the neighborhood and Google map knows exactly where the parking is. The trail is well maintained. Interpretive signs throughput the trail so give you better understanding of the eco system in that area. Trail ends at the panoramic view point at the top. If you are a trail runner like me, the grade is challenging but not punishing. I ran up and back in 30+ mins each many photo stops. All in all, very beautiful and nice hike. There is a seasonal stream crossing. It is advisable to check with Three Bridges website to find out if the trail is closed due to high water level.

Great hike! Beautiful scenery. Right amount of shade.

Great hike. Theres a low-key loop that you can do with smaller kids or you can go all the way to the top which is a multi mile hike. Nice flat wide hiking trail and well-maintained.

Nice 3.5 mile hiking loop.

It was so easy to go to the loop, the way up is beautiful and the view from the loop incredible.

Highly recommendedGood for kids and dogs too.

Beautiful area to hike. Highly recommend driving the long way around during the rainy season. The short pass from Morro Road gets flooded easily.

Beautiful views. Long and tedious walk/hike but worth it at the end. Well maintained

Great views, but lots of pesky little flies.

A great little hiking area

Peaceful and good trail

Nice trail, unfortunately the 3-4 times Ive gone its been overrun with little flying bugs. Very bothersome and takes up the last half mile all the way to the end where the swarm you. Didnt get to enjoy the amazing view because the bugs were such a nuisance.

The trail is well kept and very enjoyable. While a bit narrow for larger groups or people with pets, it was easy enough for my mother (68) to not need a break. There are many local nature facts along the trail for anyone seeking knowledge of the local environment. The view from the top was more breathtaking than I had imagined and the breeze was quite cooling. Definitely worth the short trek.

Great hike - a decent portion towards the top is in the sun, so definitely keep this in mind if hiking on hot days. Well maintained trail with nice sign markers along the way detailing local vegetation!

Beautiful well maintained trails. Will be happy when they connect to Eagle Ranch.

Great trail, moderate difficulty. Intermittently shaded for the first half. Best to hike before or after the midday sun. Great view of the valley below from the top!

Great our 3 yr old was able to walk the whole route which was a little over a mile.

We hike this trail almost every day, we bring the dog along and he loves it, not hard and very well maintained

Good hike. Uphill all the way to top then downhill all the way back. Slight grade.

Really good hike. Awsome scenery found a really cool salamander olong the trail.

This is a really pleasant trail. Its good for kids and dogs. There are a lot of areas that are shaded which is nice on hot days.

Nice moderate hike. Parking lot is ridiculous to get to.

Beautifully designed hiking trail. Though is steep grade it is a series of switchbacks which make the hike easier. The trail is wide and well-maintained with interesting details throughout. Absolutely phenomenal View at the top. Cant wait to hike it again.

This is my favorite hiking trail. Quiet and peaceful.

Great hike for all levels - easy access and parking. Views of Atascadero from the peak. Definitely recommend

Great hike and great view at the top

This newer trail is a must. Well groomed and a very unique path. The view once you reach the top is spectacular.

Love this beautiful trail! I run it every Sunday and its beauty never gets old. So appreciate those who worked to make this trail happen.

Lovely, easy, low impact hike, with a couple circuit options, impeccably maintain trails. I just had an hour to spare, and Im glad I spent it here.

Nice short trail with lots of shade and pretty flowers.

Awesome little trail. Much more untamed than other trails in Atascadero. Watch out for poison oak and bees! But a plethora of native wildlife, foliage, and in the spring a natural creek! Very fun!

Love this trail!

New favorite summertime spot oh yeah

Great hike, beautiful trail

This trail was amazing. A lot of work went into it, and it shows. Im kind of new to hiking, but I really enjoyed this. To me, this trail is North San Luis Obispo county. It has all kinds of oaks, scrub brush, rocks and just brown-ness that is my home. I loved walking through it. The view at the top is worth the walk. The trail is dog friendly, as well as horse and bike. I am glad we did not meet any bike riders though, as that seems like the trail would be a little to narrow for that, and way to popular with walkers. I highly recommend this

Beautiful in spring!

This is an amazing trail with steady elevation gain. The surrounding environment changes with the altitude, great views of western Atascadero, and a lot of planting ongoing by ALPS. Check it out and volunteer, too!

Roads washed out. Cool stuff.

Nice trail... What else do you want from a trail.

Best hiking trail in Atascadero.

Nice simple hike, wide clean trails, and well marked. Entrance to parking was a little hard to see.

Great views, good parking, tricky to find if you dont see the signs.

What a great hike. Loved it

Lots of poison oak close to trail!

Cant complain with clean nature trails

Beautiful well maintained trail.
