This hike is exactly what you need to forget the fact that syllabus week is over. We will be meeting at 10:00 am in front of Trader Joe’s and driving just 20 min to Ernest E. Debs Regional Park. The loop takes us past Debs Lake and various cool views of the hills. We are going to have lunch after completing the loop and head back to campus around 3pm. It’s a chill and fun trail perfect for those wanting to ease into hiking. We hope it’s a spot that reminds you that even when things start to pick up, there is still time to go outside and enjoy the view.
