Are you a gay man over 40 who loves to hike? I have done a few hiking trips recently (Scotland & Peru) and am looking to do some hikes around the NYC area.

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.

For those of you looking to get out of the city, this group is for you! Our main activity will be hiking. We'll also try to squeeze in some biking, skiing and casual laziness under the sun or by a fire. This is a totally not-for-profit, non-commercial group.  We don't charge fees for our activities.  If we ever do collect money it is strictly to cover the cost of group expenses, such as renting camp sites. I, Rob, took took over as head organizer in May of 2010, although I'd been organizing hike …
