What we’re about
Life is hard and we're all going through something difficult, whether it's relationships, work, identity, or whatever else. Throughout my life I've struggled with depression, but what's always helped me through it is time in nature and human connection. I want to organize hikes with people also struggling with depression, as a support group and a way of meeting new people. A group in which we're open to talk about our problems, listen to each other, or simply be around others we can relate to, all while participating together in a rejuvenating and uplifting activity. Depression is a tough mountain to climb, so let's do it together 🌄
Hikes will be in LA County, anywhere from within LA to Malibu to Pasadena. Please feel free to post any hike suggestions in the discussion area!

Hollywood Sign via Innsdale Drive (and B11 Bee Rescue open house!)
Location not specified yetHey everyone, we'll be kicking off 2026 with a hike to the Hollywood Sign via Innsdale Drive this Saturday (1/3/26)! It's a pretty chill, easy hike that takes you to a great view of the front of the Hollywood Sign, and for more of a challenge, can also be extended to take us behind the sign with a gorgeous view of LA. Free parking is available in the neighborhood by the trailhead.
On the way down, we'll also have the opportunity to visit a bee rescue open house near the trailhead, hosted by B11 Bee Rescue - a local organization that relocates bees from spaces where they're unwanted to spaces where they can thrive. Hope to see y'all there!
