Mt. Waterman Day Hike

Up for a difficult hike now that the weather is cooling?  Join us for a hike up to Mt. Waterman in the Angeles National Forest this Saturday November 14th!  Starting from Angels Crest Highway, we will climb steadily through a pine forest with plenty of scenic views hike to summit of Mt Waterman.  It is a difficult, 6.1 mile out and back, hike with ~1.8k feet of elevation gain and some sections of steep and loose rock. So, because we will want to take our time on difficult sections, and this is a long hike (~4 hours), with an hour drive each way, we will leave from campus at 8am in order to be back on campus by 4pm. Hikers will need to come prepared with sturdy hiking shoes, snacks and a lunch, sun protection (hat, long sleeves, sunscreen), a light jacket (could be cold at high elevation), and, importantly, at least 3 L of water. We look forward to yall joining us!

Transportation is not provided so you must have your own transportation or carpool with others. A group list will be sent out for those wishing to do so. The hike is free, but you should plan to contribute for gas. Look for a confirmation email with more details and logistics. Sign-ups are first-come-first-served. Email the hike leaders: Felix (fweber@caltech.edu) or Rithvik (rramesh@caltech.edu) if you have questions.
