Come join us on this sick trip to Mammoth Lakes!! On Thursday, we’ll get an early 6 am start and enjoy a scenic drive up the Sierra. We’ll hike a beautiful trail into the mountains to Agnew Lake and take a dip in the water to cool off. We’ll head back down to our campsite for the night, make baked potatoes in the campfire, snack on some s’mores, and sleep under the stars. The next morning, we’ll have breakfast and do a short hike to a waterfall. We’ll dip our feet into nearby hot springs and kiss Mammoth Lakes goodbye before heading back to USC.
