Hollister Peak

Hollister Peak is a summit reaching about 1,674 feet (510 meters) as part of the Nine Sisters, a volcanic mountain formation along California's coast. This group of peaks stands out in the landscape of San Luis Obispo County with its distinctive geological features.

The peak takes its name from the neighboring Hollister Ranch, established during California's early settlement period. The area was shaped by ranching activities that influenced rural development in this coastal region.

Local conservation groups and private landowners collaborate to protect the natural heritage of Hollister Peak through strict access management and preservation efforts.

Access to this summit is restricted because it sits on private land and is not open to the public. Visitors should understand that climbing without permission is not permitted and can result in legal consequences.

The peak ranks as the 85th tallest mountain in San Luis Obispo County but stands as the 8th most prominent due to its distinct geological features.
