Hiking for 37 years, The Valley Stream Hiking Club (VSHC) invites those members of this Meetup Group, who enjoy hiking in the beauty of the outdoors while in the company of others with similar interest, to hike with us. The intent being that after you hike several times with us you will be interested in seeking membership in our Club.  This would be accomplished by our accepting your application and you paying your dues.

Every Saturday morning, we meet up for a friendly hike through the nature trails of Forest Park in Queens. We also hike to other locations for which we'll give ample notice. Who: Anyone who wants to escape into nature for a little while. Our hikes will take us over dirt paths, over fallen logs, and up and down easy hills. We average around 3 miles. Our highest hill is equal to about 3 to 4 flights of subway stairs in elevation. If you commute every day, you will be fine. No one will be left behi …

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.

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 …

"50 Hikes in New Jersey" is a book by Bruce Scofield, and a great "bucket" list of hikes in the State of NJ! Many of these hikes include historical sites, buildings and gardens, and of course trails/paths that carried revolutionary soldiers and merchants through a new land. Hikes range from easy to strenuous, and varying in miles. This group is perfect for the any level hiker wanting to explore NJ trails. Here's the list! 1 South Of High Point 2 Rattlesnake Swamp To Catfish Pond 3 Mount Tamman …

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 …

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 …

Join us if you like to be outside and hike and/or bike on the weekends and then socialize afterwards. The hikes are generally between 7 and 10 miles and are usually intermediate in difficulty.   We hike mostly in NY and CT but plan to do hikes in other areas, including the White Mountains in NH.   Our bike outings are mainly for hybrid or mountain bikes.

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.

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.

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 …

This is a group for queer-identified folks of all genders to meet and plan hikes and backcountry camping trips. While based in NYC we welcome queers from other locations because we will be traveling to get to nature and we might end up in a location near you! Or, you might travel to meet us. 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. Interested in h …
