About this Event
Take on the challenge of this strenuous hiking trail in New York’s Hudson Valley, known for its steep ascents and rugged, rocky terrain. While demanding, the journey is well worth it, as you’ll be rewarded with awe-inspiring views of the Hudson River and surrounding landscapes. On clear days, catch a glimpse of the New York City skyline from the summit—a sight that makes the climb unforgettable. Perfect for experienced hikers seeking a physical challenge paired with breathtaking scenery, this trail is a must for your next outdoor adventure. We will have a snack break on the trail.
After the hike, we'll gather at a local spot to share food and drinks and connect with fellow nature lovers.
Don’t miss out on this exciting journey!
We are getting away from the city to forget about timing, enjoy nature and socialize. If you're looking to make new outdoorsy friends, you've found the perfect place. But if you're seeking a fast-paced group, this might not be the right fit.
