About this Event

Outside is calling. 🌿

This time we're heading to North Jersey for one of the most surprisingly spectacular hikes in the region! Join us for a chance to slow down, breathe, and escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

The Ramapo Valley County Reservation has it all: a beautiful lake, a waterfall, sweeping views of the NYC skyline, and believe it or not a wild cactus grove growing right here in the northeast.

We'll cover roughly 7 miles on a loop trail at a moderate pace, with plenty of stops to take it all in. Every step is led by NYSDEC licensed guide Kestrel Ambrose.

Outside is better with your people, so tell a friend to tell a friend and join us in the boundless outdoors.

Please be sure to complete our digital waiver . Once you are registered AND submit your waiver, you'll receive an email with all the info you need to prep for this adventure.
