We'll meet at the Hecuba statue in the village at 10:20am, and when we get to Topanga we’ll do some stretchin' and chattin' to gear up for our mild hike with some epic views. At the peak we'll eat some lunch and admire some rocks. We'll be back at campus around 5:00pm. You should come. Who knows? You may be able to impress your roommates with your new eagle pose, Garudasana.
