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 …

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