Switzer Falls w/ Gene Bickers {Physics}

  • Switzer Falls Trail 701 Angeles Crest Highway Tujunga, CA, 91042 United States (map)

Join Prof. Bickers from the Physics department on a relaxing upside-down hike in the San Gabriel Mountains. We will walk five miles (and down 650 feet) on the way in to get to the 50-ft tall falls where we’ll cool off, relax, and refuel ourselves for the ascent back to the trailhead.
