Cerro San Luis Obispo (Obispeño: łpɨłhɨtšnuka [3]) is a 1,292 feet (394 m) mountain in San Luis Obispo, California.[2] It is part of the chain of peaks called the Nine Sisters. It is a common spot for hiking, jogging and mountain biking, and has steep terrain.[4] Below the west side of the visible peak, there is a large plateau with a large wooden stage on the east end. The large white "M" present on the east face derives from Mission College Preparatory Catholic High School.
