About this trip

Pack your bags and buckle up for an exhilarating 4-day adventure in Joshua Tree/Palm Springs, California! Be awed by stunning desert landscapes when hiking through legendary Joshua Tree National Park and stargazing under the night sky. Enjoy a quaint winery and/or covered wagon tour, hanging out and relaxing with your new besties, and start the school year off right with a private chef dinner!

Marissa, MBA ’25, pretends to be outdoorsy, will always prefer Figma to Excel, and WILL be trying to sneak into Palm Springs drag shows.
Isabella, LGO ’25, loves MIT so much that’s she’s back for her 3rd degree and is also the proud winner of most likely to Strava the walk from her hotel room to breakfast as voted by herself.
Er Li, MBA ’25, loves to trauma bond in the great outdoors, is a big National Park fangirl, and survived a grueling and frigid winter trek to Scandinavia with Isabella and Marissa.
Mac, SO ’25, is here to occasionally gloat about employment, to enjoy the pool, and for a good time not a long time (in the sun without sunscreen).
Enjoy a quaint winery and/or covered wagon tour, hanging out and relaxing with your new besties, and start the school year off right with a Chopped-style cooking competition!
