I know you’re worn out from all these midterms, so come chill with us at Sturtevant Falls! We will be leaving campus early and driving about an hour to the San Gabriel Mountains in Angeles National Forest to do our hike. It is a 7.4mi hike with a 1555ft elevation gain so it will be moderately challenging. It takes about 4-4.5 hours to complete and we will be stopping at the falls for a break and a snack. We should be done with the hike by 2-2:30pm and back on campus by 4pm. Sturtevant falls is a gorgeous waterfall to relax by and there is a little swimming hole at the bottom that’s perfect for cooling off. Pretend you’re a mermaid for a day, take a magnificent forest hike, and enjoy a little escape before diving back into the books!
