Activity: Backpacking
Difficulty: A super spooky hike -- be prepared for Sunday Scaries!!
Zoinks! Kelly Duffy and the gang are taking the mystery machine out to Death Valley for a weekend of desert vibes and ghost catching. We’ll head to Death Valley Friday afternoon and spend a night under the stars chillin like scooby doo villians. Early in AM we’ll head to Surprise Canyon to see waterfalls, rare desert streams and hopefully some bighorn sheep (ruh roh). 5 miles in, at 6,500 feet, we’ll reach Panamint City, an 1800s boom town now inhibited only by spooky ghosts (and us for the night). You do NOT want to miss the chance to explore this super up-and-coming neighborhood before it gets gentrified. Once we solve the mystery, we’ll pack out and hit the road to make to back to ‘SC around 8:00pm like the meddling kids that we are.
Meet: Meet 4:00PM outside TroGro
Return: Back at USC by 8:00PM on Sunday
