Five Ways Hiking Reduces Anxiety - The Trek

If someone had told me a few years ago that voluntarily carrying thirty pounds on my back, sleeping on the ground, and willingly walking into the wilderness would improve my mental health, I probably would have suggested they seek professional help. Yet here I am. Somewhere between the blisters, mos...

🌈 Happy Pride! Q***r friends + Allies, join Great Outdoors LA on June 26-28 for a special three-day weekend at Sturtevant Camp, a magical gem in our local Angeles National Forest.

👨🏻‍💻 On Thursday, June 11, 7-8 pm we'll host an online Zoom Info Session. Trip leader Bryan will discuss the trip itinerary, logistics, and answer your questions. Whether you're curious, or already registered, we encourage you to join! The session will be recorded for those who can't make it.

🥾 Just a short distance from Los Angeles, Sturtevant Camp is a world away... in the upper reaches of Big Santa Anita Canyon, tucked into our vast San Gabriel Mountains. The camp was founded 133 years ago -- in 1893, during Southern California's “Great Hiking Era,” and has delighted generations of campers. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, the camp has survived many natural disasters, and is open for Great Outdoors to celebrate Pride Month with our own Summer Camp Weekend at Sturtevant!

🎒 We will hike in on a gradual, lovely 4.2-mile trail, enjoy a lunch break at popular Sturtevant Falls, then continue to camp. We'll carry our own backpack with clothes and light gear, but we'll be assisted by the donkeys of Adams Pack Station who will carry our food ahead of time, and pack out our trash!

🌲 Sturtevant Camp is a place to unplug and relax, with a main lodge for group cooking and meals, a game and music room, bunk bed cabins and showers, and a giant swing! If you look forward to a slow weekend enjoying canyon life, local history, making our own entertainment, and a nostalgic summer camp in good company, then this is the nature weekend for you!
