What's next for San Luis Obispo's night hiking pilot program? KSBY and last updated 2021-03-12 02:16:52-05 The night hiking program at Cerro San Luis is coming to a close. After three seasons, the pilot program expires on Sunday, March 14. On March 16, the San Luis Obispo City Council will provide some direction on what's next. From early November to mid-March, hikers and bikers are able to utilize the roughly five miles of trails on what's known as Madonna Mountain in the dark. "If you work late or you're not able to hike during the day it was a nice option," said Hiker, Amanda Lenik.
