If you’ve been looking to find some queer community at USC, this is the trip for you!!!! Come join us on a good ol’ gay adventure up Strawberry Peak. We’re going to have a chill send up this mountain that includes an early start (so we aren’t roasting in the socal heat). This is the perfect trip for those looking to embark on some sweet local hikes this semester; that being said, please note that this hike does have steep sections (especially near the peak), so please bring comfortable shoes for that!! Anyways, lunch is provided and expect to have some strawberries and/or strawberry-themed treats at the peak before we make the trek back to campus :-)
