This trip looks a liiiiitle bit different from your usual SCO adventure. It’s exclusively for members and heavily discounted to show our gratitude <3. This year the hike is sponsored by Celsius! Participants will each receive a free drink which will make our 4.7 miles an absolute breeze. After taking in the sights of a probably very minimal waterfall we will enjoy lunch and each others company before heading back to campus at an incredibly reasonable hour.

Our member hikes are also usually bigger than usual, in an effort to get as many people as we can outside. Can’t wait to see you all out there!
