Description

Join us for a scenic hike at Bear Mountain, one of the most iconic outdoor destinations near New York City! This challenging adventure takes us through forested trails and rocky paths, leading to breathtaking views of the Hudson River and surrounding Highlands. We may pass sections of the historic Appalachian Trail and reach overlooks near Perkins Memorial Tower. It’s the perfect way to enjoy fresh air, nature, and great company. Let’s explore together!

Pack your favorite sandwich and drink, we will have a snack break on the trail.

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.
