What we’re about
Welcome to the Staten Island Hiking Meetup group. This group was started in 2018 by James Warchol in order for people to get together and hike in our beauriful Staten Island Parks. We have since grown to be ranked in the top 8 hiking groups in NYC.
I took the group over in June 2021 and while we still hike in Staten Island we also venture off of Staten Island on the weekends. Our hikes during the week are usually in the evenings . We also have some pop up hikes in the mornings during the week. Our weekend hikes usually start at 10 in the morning. The length of the hikes vary in time and distance. We have also been known to go for a bite to eat or go to a winery. Once a month we have our Full moon hikes with a Kazzoo and light Circle .
As the group grows and matures we learn new things and want to introduce new hikes to the group. We have started to host Family Hikes when the public schools are closed. Please look out for these hikes. It is important to get the kids unplugged from their devices.
We welcome people to host hikes that they love going on. Please show your love by hosting a hike either during the week or on the weekend.
Please feel free to bring family members and friends along on our hikes. We're looking forward to you joining us.

Peace, love, hiking, and flamingos✌️❤️🥾,🦩
