Trip Description: Come wrap up your fall break with Joe and Kylie on an epic day hike in Malibu! We will leave campus at 8:30am and take a scenic drive up the beautiful highway 1 to the Mishe Mowka Trailhead. This 7.2 mile loop will take us through the flora and fauna of not one, not two, but THREE jaw dropping viewpoints — Sandstone Peak, Tri Peaks, and Split Rock! We will choose our favorite and setup for a light lunch before saying goodbye to the vibrant rocks and mystical sea fog. Once back to the trailhead, we will take a trip on the 101 and find ourselves in enemy territory… The UCLA In-N-Out. After rewarding ourselves for the long day we will head back to campus, properly fulfilled, around 6pm. We are so stoked and hope you can join us!
