Join Jesus and Hayden on a day trip to Malibu! We’ll leave USC at around 9am for a 4-mile hike to Escondido Falls and spend a few hours enjoying the trail. We’ll eat lunch at the falls, and then head back down to hit the beach at around 1 or 2pm. We’ll spend a few hours enjoying the sand, play some Spikeball, and have a great time relaxing after the hike! To finish up the day, we’ll get some ice cream on the way back to USC (included in trip costs!!) and return at around 5 or 6pm so you can enjoy the rest of your night!
