Eastern Devil’s Path: Winter Edition with Transportation from/to NYC

Looking for a winter challenge? Hike the eastern half of the infamous Devil’s Path! Known as one of the most challenging hiking trails in the Northeast, the Devil’s Path has steep, rugged ascents and equally difficult descents, slowing down the pace of even the most experienced hikers. Conquering the eastern half will require you to scramble up rocky trails covered with snow and ice and navigate steep descents. We’ll have crampons, microspikes, or snowshoes, as needed, to set you up for success! You will have access to a resupply and bail-out point. This is an at-your-own-pace hike, but our guides will be sweeping on trail and at checkpoints to help throughout the day. You will be able to tackle this trail at your own speed, provided you are with at least one other participant or guide. There will be a cut-off time 9 miles into the hike, to make sure no one is hiking in the dark.
If you are feeling up for a really intense day, join us to hike the full Devil’s Path in a day in the summer of 2026.
On this trip we will summit Indian Head, Twin, Sugarloaf and Plateau mountains. These are required peaks for Catskill 3500 Club Membership.
Note: Must have prior tall-peak hiking experience in the Catskill Mountains or Adirondack Mountains before joining. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to info@adventureuntamed.com.

Appalachian Trail: Jim Thorpe Weekend Overnight with Transportation from/to NYC

Let’s do the AT over a weekend!
In this hike series, we are taking on the longest hiking-only footpath in the world – one section at a time. And this is our overnight trip! That’s right – we’ll drive up on Friday evening and have dinner the guides will cook for you. We’ll spend a night in a house we are renting just for our group (with a game room and a hot tub), then hike Saturday. On Sunday, we’ll do a shorter hike and spend the afternoon in Jim Thorpe before heading back to the City.
On Day 1, we’ll hike the beautiful ridge line and ascent Bear Rock. Day 2 will be a day with shorter mileage to allow for a more moderate pace. We’ll continue along the same ridge and hike up Bake Oven Knob. We will finish up our weekend with exploring the town of Jim Thorpe in the Poconos.
Because this is a point-to-point hike, there is no need to double-back. It’s only the Appalachian Trail, and it’s new places all day long. Come explore the AT with us!
Accommodations: Shared chalet with just our group – four-person bunk room. Single and double rooms available for an extra $100 and $75 fee respectively. The chalet has a hot tub, game room, fire place, and outdoor space. There will be some down time to relax with a book or just enjoy the house.
Meals: Guides will cook dinners and breakfasts for you and provide ingredients to make lunches for the trail. Please bring snacks and money for a meal at Jim Thorpe on the last day.
