Is the LA heat getting to you? Do you need a dip in some refreshing hot springs to get you through your next class? Come join us on a chill stroll through the hills to the Deep Creek Hot Springs and cool yourself down! We’ll be heading out bright and early at 8am from the village. It’ll be a short 2 hour drive to the trailhead filled with good music and better vibes. We’ll then hike to the hot springs where we’ll have lunch and have a nice refreshing dip in your swimsuit or birthday suit! (POSSIBILITY OF SEEING NAKED PEOPLE). After that we’ll head back to the cars and reach campus around 5pm!
