Ever wanted to go camping in one of the most beautiful and less-known areas in all of Southern Califonia and simultaneously escape campus during study days? Look no further than Getting Dialed at Idyllwild! We will have a nice and easy late start to the day on Saturday (eat lunch beforehand!) before heading out towards the wilderness where we’ll set up camp and make dinner. Sunday will begin with a cup of joe (on us!) in the cute and cozy town of Idyllwild before we embark upon a delightful hike up to Suicide Rock where we’ll get sprawling views of the valley below! Reminder to bring plenty of layers because it can get cold at night and we hope you will join us on this adventure!
