Get your engines fired up on this supercharged hike with guides Anders and Kyson while we explore Mugu Point State Park and complete a 6.6-mile loop to the top of Mugu Peak.

This isn’t your average hike—think of it as a real-life MarioKart course, complete with winding trails, stunning ocean views, and maybe even a few banana peels (or just slippery rocks). We’ll power up with snacks along the way, enjoy an unbeatable sunset from the summit, and make it back to campus just in time for dinner! Will we toss a few Koopa shells at each other along the way? Maybe. Will we have an unforgettable adventure? Absolutely. So grab your hiking boots, get ready to drift through some switchbacks like it’s Rainbow Road, and let’s hit the trail! It’s-a-hike!

Make sure to watch your step, because Lakitu won't be there to lift you back up.
