You step off 12th Street and the downtown grid becomes a playground: a clock tower watches, murals invite questions, and the oak-dotted hills press quietly at the town’s edges. The scavenger hunt turns Paso Robles into a puzzleboard — clues on your phone send you under archways, across City Park, and past the Acorn Building, each answer nudging you to the next visible landmark.
