Location #A
Cuesta Canyon Park. The original pre-1932 alignment of the highway split off from what is now Miosi Rd. at the north end of this park. It crossed over a small creek that feeds into San Luis Obispo Creek, then continues north, crosses under the current freeway, and continues north on the east side as Fox Hollow Rd.
