We are a hiking and backpacking group. Can anyone join? No.
I found this group to have a smaller, cozier group with my friends that we can do some fast adventures up in the mountains.
If you want to join come backpacking or hiking with us through the New York Backpackers group on meetup.

I can't let anyone in if I haven't met that person before and we have never hiked together. You must have hiked with me at least once or with one of our assistant organizers. So please no request to join unless you meet this conditions.
