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 …

Some of us spend every weekend with theirs, others alterna …

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.

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. You're encouraged to lead the walks, medit …
