Grab your camera (or phone) and prepare to be wined (not rly…) and dined on top of the highest peak in the Santa Monica Mountains! We will be kicking off the first day of fall break by hiking the Backbone Trail up to Sandstone Peak to capture the golden hour sun with photography. There will be great views, a moderate hike, some yummy charcuterie and plenty of photo opportunities along the way. Oh and like any good SCO trip, Powerberries… duh! We’ll be finishing up the 6 mile hike after the sun sets, so make sure to bring a headlamp. Meet us at 1:30pm in the Village and you’ll return around 8:30pm, just in time for any Thursday night shenanigans.
