MEETING POINT: Wallenberg Square located at 115-29 Metropolitan Ave, Richmond Hill, NY, about a 10-min walk from the Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike subway station (E. F trains)

PACE: This is a LEISURELY PACE HIKE AND NO ONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND. We will have stops for water breaks, lunch break, take time to soak in the surrounding views, savor the sights and sounds of nature. PLEASE, NO SPEED DEMONS!!!!

DURATION: We should be done by 3pm but no guarantee. You can leave on your own at any time. We won’t judge. Much.

THE IMPORTANT STUFF:

• Dress for the weather in non-cotton layers.
• Wear appropriate shoes suitable for hiking.
• Bring liquid to stay hydrated.
• Bring lunch and snacks for yourself.
• Bring a sense of adventure and a positive attitude. A smile also goes a long way. Please leave the drama and crankiness at home.

POST-HIKE for those interested we'll do eats and drinks at Neir’s Tavern before heading home.

WEATHER: Rain, snow cancels. Polar vortex we still go just bundle up!

LIABILITY WAIVER: come prepared. Participate at your own risks. Hold no one liable etc. etc.
