Description

Join us for a relaxing hike at Blue Mountain Reservation in Peekskill, NY! This easy to moderate trail winds through a beautiful forest, where we’ll walk beneath towering trees and enjoy the fresh air. It’s the perfect way to connect with nature and meet fellow outdoor lovers. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned hiker, this adventure promises great company and scenic views. Let’s explore together! We will have a snack break on the trail.

We’ll end this adventure at a cozy local restaurant, where we can relax, share stories, and enjoy some time together before heading back to the city.

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.
