Virtual Day Trips

Painted Rock

For those who could not make the April 2026 RAM outing to Painted Rock, this video from Arrowhead Overland highlights the journey to Painted Rock and its historical significance. 

Carrizo Plains Superbloom

This video provides a further exploration into the Carrizo Plains National Monument in southeastern corner of San Luis Obispo County.  The video also captures the spectacular wildflower superbloom from the spring of 2023.  A RAM Daytrip was planned for April 2023 but was canceled due to exceptionally heavy rainfall and impassable roads. 

Exposition Park Raceway

A little over a century ago San Luis Obispo was home to the fastest one-mile dirt racetrack in the country.  This rare footage captures that slice of history. The racetrack was located in and around current day Meadow Park. The rock outcropping on the southern side was called Cheapskate Hill so that residents could view the race without paying for a seat in the bleachers.
