To cure any post-halloween, haunted vibes, come reconnect with nature at Descanso Gardens. Nestled in the La-Canada Flintridge hills, the gardens are a manmade, perfectly manicured oasis featuring over 150 acres of native and exotic plants and flowers. With a late start and super chill route, this will be more of a fun stroll than a hike. If you like plants, peaks, people, or just pretty things, come join us on this fun, unique walk!
