This is a SILENT meditation hike for people of average hiking skills. We love the city, but every once in a while it is important to spend time in nature. Join us as we spend a few hours hiking in silence. Rev. Ian White Maher, minister of Original Blessing: A Unitarian Universalist Congregation, will lead the hike and ground the experience in three guided meditations exploring the beauty of creation. Harriman State Park is easily accessible by bus and car. The hike is moderately difficult but d …

This group is founded on the belief that civilized people like to sleep in on weekends, and lead their active lives in the afternoon. Hiking is not only exercise, it's also a great chance to socialize in pleasant surroundings. All hikes will finish with dinner at an affordable restaurant willing to do separate checks. 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 …

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.

We are a hiking and backpacking group. Can anyone join? No. I found this group to have a smaller, cozier group with my friends that we can do some fast adventures up in the mountains. If you want to join come backpacking or hiking with us through the New York Backpackers group on meetup. http://backpackers.meetup.com/113 I can't let anyone in if I haven't met that person before and we have never hiked together. You must have hiked with me at least once or with one of our assistant organizers …

For those of you looking to get out of the city, this group is for you! Our main activity will be hiking.

I, Rob, took took over as head organizer in May of 2010, although I'd been organizing hike …

This is a group for queer-identified folks of all genders to meet and plan hikes and backcountry camping trips.

Plus, what if you live in Missoula and might offer to let a bunch of us sleep on your floor the night before a big trip to Glacier National Park!? Dream big people. No experience necessary.

This group formed out of the desire to share the wonderful experiences of outdoor activities with the children and youth in our lives. Not only to enrich the lives of those younger than us; but to enrich our lives as caretakers as we re-experience the outdoor activities we love with those we love. The vast majority of outdoor groups do not organize kid/youth-suitable meetups but many folks have younger ones and would love to bring them. Some of us spend every weekend with theirs, others alterna …

Let's get together and night hike. It's a wonderful experience to enjoy the unnoticed beauty of the woods at night. It's also a chance to get deeper into your wild self, senses engaged, mindfulness activated, and just to have a little slice of adventure back into your life. We will use no lights or cell phones while walking, since the path winds in and out of lit areas anyway. At one point we'll take time to listen and meditate to all the nature sounds.

They say that 40 years in the desert was enough time outdoors for the Jews. I think they are wrong. Tired of the old Jewish social scenes built around overeating and getting drunk at holiday times.
