Wanting a little taste of break during the peak of exams? Join Peaks & Professor Carl Collins on a relaxing hike through the Pacific Palisades on the Los Leones Trail! Here’s your chance to touch grass and smell the fresh salty air away from our cramped city bubble. To beat the fellow nature loving crowds, we’ll be leaving campus at 7:30 am to arrive right when the trail opens. Our easy 4 mile hiking adventure should take around 4 hours so please plan accordingly. Excited to see you all there!!

RATE MY PROFESSOR: "Coach Collins is the greatest teacher you'll ever have at SC. He genuinely cares about you. Genuinely. His content is the most applicable content you can ever consume, and you'll come out that class feeling more confident"
Professor Carl Collins has been teaching at USC for over 30 years and is the epitome of “Fight On!”. In his PHED Self Defense classes, the three time Mixed Martial Arts Hall of Fame inductee, Coach Carl is more than an just an expert in the field! With decades of experience, his true passion is still teaching students the value of confidence and personal safety, especially in our lovely Los Angeles. Respected by his students for always keeping it real, let’s not sugarcoat it — taking Self Defense is a must!
