Welcome to The New York City Hiking Meetup Group, the oldest of all the hiking groups on Meetup.com founded by Mr. Petito Barahona, an avid hiker, an environmental activist and a passionate health care worker back in early 2004. We will hike and organize many other outdoor fun activities anywhere near New York City - that could include Rocky Mountains, Hawaii as well.

We will hike year around so you will need some winter hiking gear for our winter hikes and we will ask our hike leaders to check your gear for our winter hiking trip for your own safety.

Please visit our sister groups The Next Adventure & Hiking (http://www.meetup.com/the-next-adventure/) and if you are more into a little advanced outdoor activities then just a day hikes but for activities such as rock/ice climbing or ski/snowboarding activities, please visit Rock & Ice: http://www.meetup.com/Rock-n-Raft/.

 I didn't know what to expect, but it was a good time. The scenery was beautiful and I felt challenged physically.
