So on April 22, which was a Sunday, I participated in my
first ALDPES event! We decided to go hiking near the observatory at Griffith
Park. I was really excited because, being from San Diego, I haven’t really
explored any of the Los Angeles hiking areas. Also, I was ready to get to know
some new people!
I met a few girls on the way up and we ended up talking about
majors and careers the whole way. The hike went by so quickly just because we
were so in to our conversations. We had lunch at the top after taking tons of
pictures with the Hollywood sign and the rest of LA in the background.
Unfortunately, it was a smoggy day, so we weren’t able to see the ocean or
anything super far away. However, the weather was pleasant enough!
On the way back down, we ended up taking the completely
wrong trail! We went a pretty good distance without anyone noticing, which I
guess is good because it probably meant everyone was having a good time talking
with their friends. We had to walk all the way back up to get to the right
place again! It ended up being fine though, and we finally made it to the cars!
Our car took the scenic route through Hollywood back to the dorms, which was
totally awesome.
All in all, a great day!!!
