Description

Join us for a relaxing hike along the Hudson River, featuring beautiful scenery and panoramic views throughout the journey. We’ll visit Rockwood Hall, a historic estate with scenic ruins overlooking the river, then walk part of the famous Old Croton Aqueduct Trail before continuing into Rockefeller State Park Preserve. There, we’ll stop for a peaceful lunch break surrounded by nature.

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

We’ll end the day at a local ice cream shop to cool off, relax, and enjoy great conversations together.

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.
