Keep Calm and Take a Hike at Mohonk Preserve

It's the last weekend of summer! Let's get outdoors and take a hike at Mohonk Preserve reachable on Trailways bus out of the Port Authority Bus Terminal going to New Paltz.

AGENDA: We'll hike the East Trapps Connector Trail connecting to the West Trapps trail making it a loop hike.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A MODERATELY STRENUOUS HIKE. Hike starts going up 270 STEEP stone steps. Please be honest with your hiking ability when signing up. We will go slow and will not leave you behind. You don't have to be an athlete to do this hike but you must be able to complete hike with any issues.

GETTING THERE: We're taking the Trailway bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal. The 7AM bus arrives in New Paltz by 8:35AM. One-way ticket is $26.00 (depends on how early you buy the ticket). Ticket can be purchased in advance at this link: https://trailways.com/

From the Trailways bus station in New Paltz, we'll then pick up the Nature Bus at 8:45am that will drop us off at the Mohonk Preserve Visitor's Center at 9AM.

Drivers: you can meet us at the Mohonk Preserve Visitor Center at 9am. Do your own research on directions and parking situation.

PACE: Hiking pace will be LEISURELY AND NO ONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND. During hike we'll have lunch, water and snack breaks as needed; as well as taking time to savor the sights and sounds of nature, and most importantly, socialize with your fellow hikers. NO FAST HIKERS!

TOTAL MILEAGE: up to about 7 to 8 MILES

DURATION: We will be out for the entire day. But you can leave on your own at any time. We won't judge. Much.

AFTER HIKE, we'll allot some time to explore New Paltz and grab some local bites and drinks before heading home.

RETURN BUS: 6PM bus back to NYC.

WEATHER: as bus ticket is non-refundable, this meetup is rain or shine!

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