Kick off the first weekend of October by joining Lilly and Kelly for the perfect fall day trip to Oak Glen’s very own Los Rios Rancho! We’ll start the day by heading up to the ranch and picking apples together in the orchards - the ticket price covers 1 lb of apples per person! After we’ll have time to explore the ranch and check out all the other fall festivities Los Rios has to offer. Depending on what everyone is feeling, there’s a petting zoo, horse-drawn wagon and tractor rides, a corn maze, and food/treats. These activities are not included in the trip price, so bring a little spending money if you want! We’ll then have a picnic out in the fields (we are providing some lunch but feel free to buy food at the ranch too) before exploring the ranch’s beautiful botanic gardens and nature preserve and wandering some of the trails. After we’ve made many core memories, we’ll stop back at the ranch and enjoy the live music, before heading back to USC and getting home before 5pm.
