Suggestions for new routes are welcome, but will only be considered if the hike is at least 4 miles long and an appropriate restaurant at the end of the path is recommended.  Rou …

I started this group to assemble backpackers for the purpose of finding great folks to section-hike the Appalachian Trail with.

We are families who get together to experience the great outdoors hiking, biking, camping, and so much more. We favor simplicity, sustainability or better thrivability, and model to our children a healthy reverence for life.

This is a group for New Yorkers who love to get into nature but fall into one or more of these categories: 1) Somewhat daunted by 20 mile, 5000 ft elevation-gain day hikes; 2) New to hiking and camping; 2) Just like to amble along and enjoy the scenery and the company rather than rush to a destination. I want to plan some chill day-hikes, some chill overnights, and just overall some chill activities that will get us out of this fantastic city from time to time.

This is not a group for people who are new to hiking. The hikes will be fast paced with not too many stops. The goal of this meetup is to create a group of friends from the city who can start and end the hike here together. We hike in NYC Parks (e.g. Van Cortlandt Park, Inwood Hill Park) and where public transportation from Manhattan can get us (NY, NJ). This group will be kept very small, the target age is around 40, and the hikes are fast-paced and last several hours to give us a good work-out …
