5 AM Crew – Ugly Sweater Potluck Hike

Saturday, December 20, 2025

Hey everyone, quick update!
We’re officially turning this into the Ugly Sweater Potluck Hike – the hike plus a potluck and a $20 unisex White Elephant gift exchange at the park after.

Here are all the details:

Meetup
	•	4:45 AM – Arrive early
	•	5:00 AM sharp – We start hiking
	•	Location: Merry-Go-Round Parking Lot #1 (no address, please Google it)

The Hike
	•	We’re hiking all the way to the Hollywood Sign
	•	We’ll take our big ugly-sweater group picture at the top
	•	This route is 8+ miles, fast to moderate pace with checkpoints
	•	Not a beginners hike

What to Bring
	•	Hiking boots or trail runners (no tennis shoes please)
	•	At least 1 liter of water
	•	Snacks + any medication you need
	•	A $20 unisex gift if you want to join the White Elephant game
	•	Ugly sweater – I recommend putting it in your backpack and wearing it at the top (they get hot fast)
	•	Holiday accessories like light-up necklaces are fun and encouraged
	•	If you have one, please bring a 6-foot table or any folding chairs for the potluck setup

Potluck
	•	Goal is to be back down by 8:30 AM
	•	We’ll set up at the park right next to the parking lot
	•	Please bring something to share
	•	White Elephant ($20 gift, unisex, fun, optional)
	•	This is a great chance for anyone who’s wanted to join us to finally jump in and be part of the community

Reminders
	•	We keep a steady pace
	•	We stay together at checkpoints
	•	Dogs are welcome if leashed
	•	Everyone is fully responsible for their own health and safety
	•	Bring a charged headlamp – it will be dark

Last year this was one of our most fun holiday hikes and we’re doing it again.
