Do you wish your screen time was higher? Join guides Anders and Ryan as we lead a cinema-themed sunset hike! We’ll be leaving at 2PM on Friday from the Village. From there, we’ll head directly to Malibu Creek State Park where we’ll undertake a scenic hike. The hike itself features stunning views of the lake, various rivers, and, most importantly, film sets from Planet of the Apes and M*A*S*H. At 5PM, we’ll break for dinner amidst the scenery and enjoy movie-related snacks. Afterwards, we’ll head back to the trailhead. We’ll have achieved the perfect equilibrium of obsessive screen addiction and serene nature. We’ll return to USC at 7PM so you’ll still have time to scroll reels and study frantically. Join us!
