Description

Discover the thrill of hiking Breakneck Ridge, one of the most popular and scenic trails in New York’s Hudson Valley! This moderate yet rewarding hike offers spectacular views of the Hudson River and surrounding mountains, making it a favorite for adventurers and nature lovers alike. Whether you’re seeking a challenge or looking to connect with fellow hikers, this trail promises camaraderie and breathtaking vistas. Starting and finishing at Cold Spring Train Station, it’s a convenient and unforgettable escape into the great outdoors.

We’ll wrap up our adventure at a cozy local pizzeria, where we can relax, enjoy some food and drinks, and spend time chatting and connecting with fellow adventurers.

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.
