Pre-Trip Meeting: Wednesday October 20th @8pm Village Lawn

Get HYPED for a weekend of alpine lakes!!!! We will be sending it up to Inyo National Forest to backpack up to Little Lakes Valley, which has 6 epic lakes to be explored. We’ll be leaving Friday afternoon to camp the night in Alabama Hills, and getting up early Saturday morning to hit the trailhead and start our trek! The hike itself is moderately strenuous, but a great beginner’s backpacking trip as it’s not a ton of mileage. We’ll hike in the 4 miles, set up camp, explore the lakes, eat some delicious grub, then head back the next day. We should be back Sunday around 4 pm, so you’ll have the night to get settled in and relax before the week starts. Please let us know if you have any questions about the trip. We are so stoked to get outside with y’all :D
