The Poly Canyon Trail follows a ranch road through the pastoral rolling hills alongside Brizziolari Creek behind the Cal Poly campus. The trail winds through the open space and rock outcroppings to the railroad tracks below Cuesta Ridge. The return route follows the north edge of the canyon through beautiful oak groves overlooking the canyon.
