Involves hiking and dim sum.

A few of your friendly InsideHook editors are going camping this weekend in Big Sur.

Because while the summer camping trip is an American pastime, we find that it’s better to go when there’s a chill in the air.

That’s when there’s more Thoreau-ian peace and quiet which is, y’know, the reason you’re going camping in the first place.

With our excursion in mind, we’re setting you up with one of your own.

So load up your daypack, tie your hiking kicks, ice down the provisions and look eastward to Icehouse Canyon in the San Gabriels.

Home to one of the few trails left untouched by the recent fires.

Inside, we hook you up with directions and the necessary gear.

And for afterwards, a little dim sum in the San Gabriel burbs.

Fall in.
