Join Bella and Fay on an AWESOME 5.3 mile hike through the Echo Mountain Trails where we’ll pass by some ancient relics 🚂 with a delicious lunch and a surprise at the end (🤫😏📣)…

We’ll meet at 8AM at the Hecuba statue, drive 40 min to our spot, and embark on this journey until we’re sadly back on campus at around 2PM.

It will be slightly steep with some narrow switchbacks, so apologies those with a fear of heights. There will be some benches and water fountains along the way to catch our breath.
