Saddle Peak w/ Atia Sattar {Gender & Sexuality Department}

  • Saddle Peak 540 Stunt Road (map)

IMPORTANT UPDATE: STARTING 11/5/2023 WE WILL BE REVERTING TO FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. Sign ups will open 9PM on Sundays of Wave release (instead of being open 9PM-12AM)

Join us on a wonderful sunday stroll up and back trail near Topanga, California in Malibu Creek State Park! This hike is just moderately challenging, with the views of birds and greenery (particularly wild grown mushrooms) even more challenging to believe! The hike is 3.3 miles, but could be muddy so bring shoes you’re not terribly emotionally attached to at the moment. We are leaving at 8 am to get to the trail as the sun rises and enjoy the lovely UV, and to get back to qualm the Sunday carries.

PACKING LIST:

  • Shoes you don’t mind getting muddy!

  • H2O!

  • appropriate clothes

  • Waivers

  • Snacks! (lunch if you would like)

  • A mouth frothingly curious mind

WE WILL PROVIDE:

  • Vibes
