Join AMC’s Concrete to Trails Bus Trips
Discover wild places just beyond the city limits—no Uber, Lyft or train ticket required! Appalachian Mountain Club’s Concrete to Trails program offers weekly Saturday bus trips from New York City to stunning natural areas that are typically hard to reach without a vehicle. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or simply seeking fresh air and new views, these outings make it easy to escape the pavement and step into nature.

On this hike (6 miles, 1,700 feet elevation gain, 4 hours) we will take on section hike of a special trail in a lovely place. We will travel one-way for a point-to-point walk in the woods from Haverstraw Beach to Hook Mountain along the 358 mile Long Path, a continuous trail from Albany to NYC designed for foot travel. From beginning to end we will have views of and across the Hudson River towards Westchester with the GMCB (Tappan Zee Bridge) being a fantastic final sight to see from atop Hook Mountain. The activity is rated as moderate per AMC activity guidelines. This route will be on uneven terrain of varying surfaces and we will be exposed to the Earth's elements. Please be prepared to spend 4 hours outside while being active with intermittent breaks. We take one 'proper' break on the trip at approximately the mid-way point of our time together.
