Come join us for a celebratory end-of-semester Sunday hike up Strawberry Peak, just about half an hour off-campus! Clocking in at 7.2 miles with 1800 feet of elevation gain, this sure isn’t a hike for the faint of heart, but it sure is a rewarding one at that. Come along for the morning and part of the afternoon to have some chats about art with accomplished painting professor Karen Liebowitz and your super cool trip leads (one of which also happens to be studying architecture)!
Also I promise the post-hike euphoria will make up for the tough uphills. But in all seriousness, we’re going to have so much Type I fun too!!!
PACKING LIST:
sunscreen/hat
excitement :-)
snacks
breakfast for the way there, lunch for the way back
~3L of water!!! stay hydrated besties it’s gonna be a hot hike
WAIVERS
PROFESSOR: KAREN LIEBOWITZ
DEPARTMENT: Roski School of Design
RATE MY PROFESSOR: "The best professor I have ever had. She is very caring and knows what she is teaching about, learned so much.”
Originally from New York, Karen Liebowitz is an artist based in Los Angeles, teaching painting and drawing at USC’s Roski School of Design. Her paintings are hybrids of classicism and fantasy, with a relationship to historical painting and the social ideals behind great murals with their figuration, large scale, and theatricality.
PEAK: Strawberry Peak
DIFFICULTY: 4/5
SCENERY: rolling green hills and, if the weather is just right, we will be ABOVE THE CLOUDS at the summit. unreal
FUN FACT: Strawberry Peak boasts the HIGHEST summit on the front range of the San Gabriel Mountains! Also aptly named Strawberry Peak because mountaineers agreed that it looked like an upside-down strawberry.
