Join Dean Varun Soni for a hike around Temescal Canyon, a post-hike lunch in the Palisades, and tour of Lake Shrine guided by Dean Soni! The trail is a 3 mile moderately-trafficked shaded loop in the Palisades with 875ft of elevation and rewarding ocean views.

Join math professor Neel on our trip to Ice House! He might be in the realm of mathematics at USC, but away from the concrete landscape, Neel has a knack for hikes and conversing with students! This more challenging day hike is just under 8 miles long as it loops near Mt. Baldy. At the top of this peak, we’ll reach a total of 2,637 ft in elevation so be sure to wear good shoes and hydrate before hand. The trek gives a beautiful look at the Cucamonga Wilderness as we learn more about this admired professor!

Join Prof. Starr from the International Relations department on one of LA’s most iconic hikes! Runyon Canyon is a 2.5-mile loop located in Hollywood on the East End of the Santa Monica Mountains. Notable features include urban landscapes, cute dogs, and the occasional celebrity sighting?

Join geologist Vicky Petryshyn on a 14.5 mile loop hike from Chantry Flats to Mt. Wilson. This hike offers great views of the San Gabriels as well as a stop at the historic Mt. Wilson Observatory, which at one point was home to the largest telescope in the world.
