Are you interested in urban planning, real estate, nonprofits, and public administration? If so then I hope the trip cost is a small PRICE to pay to meet an advisor and professors from the Price School of Public Policy as well as a former professor in the department of Slavic Language and Literatures. Get to know these professors as we hike 5.4 miles to Echo Mountain, a place with a rich history. Back in the day, Echo Mountain was the site of a resort that drew tourists from all over the world to take in the views of Southern California. It was destroyed in a wildfire, but now we get to hike the trail up to the summit with the company of these super cool people!
