'Sup guy? Heard you've been looking for a super chill daytrip with some super chill guides... look no further. Heard you've been looking for a hike with some kick-ass LA views and some cool abandoned buildings to check out... woo boy, do I got a trip for you. We'll be leaving out around noon on Friday, hitting Echo Mountain up in the Angeles National Forest, then coming back in time for your Friday evening activities. It's a 5 mile out and back up to the location of an abandoned resort: guaranteed to be a kickin' good time. A wise man once said, "Kiva and Sam are the coolest guides in SCO and they keep the vibes immaculate" - that man grew up to be Albert Einstein.
