    CATSKILLS SWIMMING HOLE A Secret Spot in the Mountains
    Some places don't need much of an introduction. A cold mountain swimming hole on a summer day is one of them.
    We're heading deep into the Catskills for a full day of hiking, swimming, and doing absolutely nothing in the best possible way. After a short guided hike through lush forest trails, we'll arrive at one of the most beautiful and secluded swimming holes in the region, surrounded by nature, far from the noise, and exactly what a summer day should feel like. Swim out to the middle, dry off on the rocks, eat your sandwich in the sun. There's no agenda beyond that.
    Come with your crew, come solo, come however you need to. You'll leave feeling like a different person.

    Llama & Alpaca-my-Appetite: Trail Side Taste of Peru

    The Standard Biergarten, 848 Washington St, New York, NY, US

    REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events

    Trade city streets for open fields and fresh country air as we head out of town for a one-of-a-kind countryside escape. On this adventure, you won’t just be hiking! You’ll be trekking alongside llamas and alpacas, your new four-legged trail companions.
    We’ll arrive at the farm, meet our fluffy hiking partners, and set off on a relaxed, scenic walk through rolling hills and peaceful landscapes. These gentle, curious animals make the experience equal parts calming and unforgettable (and yes: very Instagram-worthy).
    After our trek, we’ll shift from trail time to taste time with a trail-side taste of Peru: a delicious nod to the animals’ South American roots. Expect a curated Peruvian-inspired food experience that brings bold flavors and countryside vibes together. Fresh air, good company, and incredible bites… this is the kind of pairing we like.
    Whether you’re here for the animal energy, the cultural flavors, or just a wholesome day outside, this one hits on all levels. Fluffy hiking partners. Bold flavors. Countryside energy with a South American twist.
