Protect your peace and join us for a relaxing day splashing about and perusing around Pyramid Lake. Just one hour north of Los Angeles, we will explore these glorious pyramids from the water via MYSTERY watercraft. We will enjoy lunch at a private beach accessible only by boat OOH LALA. We will then explore more parts of the lake on foot and enjoy a stroll on a nearby beach trail. After peace has re-entered our bloodstream, we will head back to USC by early evening.
