Hate waking up early to go hiking? Like walking around in the dark? We’ve got a trip for you! Join us on a fun sunset/night hike in Angeles national forest. With some flowers from the LA super bloom rains and some spectacular sunset views, it’ll be a great time! We’ll be leaving late afternoon to take a steep and challenging uphill hike to catch the sunset at the top of Orchard Camp near Mt. Wilson, where we’ll have some dinner. Then we’ll hike down in the dusk/dark (headlamps included) and enjoy the peaceful vibes!
