20's & 30's Somethings LA - Friends, Parties, Hikes, & More!

Fall Colors . . . Eastern Sierra AND Hot Springs Soaks (Yosemite optional too!!)

This event is: Fall Colors extravaganza AND Hot Springs Soaks.

Autumn and Fall Colors is really an east coast thing . . . EXCEPT for the Eastern Sierra. Nowhere else in California does the foliage explode in color like this.
The Quaking Aspens and the Cottonwoods turn and it is glorious.

Take a look at pix from past times we have gone https://photos.app.goo.gl/4H8pH2uSezGKoH1h8

For the Fall Colors portion we will be driving to all the best spots (and short short photo hikes. OR you can choose to hike up Lundy Canyon (Easy Hike) and have a more intimate exploration.

On the way to the prime fall colors spots we will be making our way to the local natural mineral hot springs. The autumn temps will make it perfect for a series of Hot Springs dips.
