What we’re about
We have fun, informative, sociable & scenic walks/hikes in NY, NJ & CT to historic neighborhoods/towns, waterfalls/waterfronts, gardens/arboretums, art studios & hiking parks.
Some of our walks/hikes are like a tour, 3 to 5 miles, with leader stopping/ commenting at many points of interest.
Other walks/hikes are 6 to 11 miles, with leader stopping/commenting at not as many points of interest. For these longer walks/hikes, you have to be physically fit, able to do miles listed, and able to maintain a moderate (not slow) pace.
This Meetup is a social group, not a business. We are here to socialize, exercise and explore together. The small organizer event fee, our only source of receiving money on Meetup, helps pay for Meetup fees, subscriptions, stationery and the hundreds of time we have traveled by public transportation outside of NYC to scout out walks/hikes.
ABSOLUTELY NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON ANY OF OUR WALKS/HIKES.
