우리에 대해

Join us for a full range of outdoor activities all year round! From day hikes to 20+ mile challenges, from train-accessible local hikes to camping around the northeast, from lazy summer lake swimming to winter snowshoeing, ice climbing, and skiing, we do it all!

Most local trips are accessible via public transportation and we organize carpools when they are not.

These are not guided trips - these are social events. Remember that you are responsible for your own safety. Stay within your skill, fitness, and experience level.

Have a profile photo showing your face. This is required so your organizers can remember who's who. And answer all the profile questions so we know a little about you and what kind of events we should plan
Most day hikes are suitable for any fit individual with some prior hiking experience.
Everyone should be comfortable hiking alone and be prepared to do so (with a map and an understanding of the route). We make an effort to stay together as a group, but sometimes the group does need to split up.
If you're new to a particular activity or moving up a level, please contact the event organizer. It is often possible to accommodate less experienced members, but not always.

If you do not have any hiking experience at all, please hike with a professional guide service a few times.

Wilderness First Aid & CPR Course; May 23rd-24th
2026년 5월 23일 09:00 EDT
BKLYN Commons, 774 Broadway, Brooklyn, ny, US
Hi Hikers,
I took their WFA class back in November and it was great. I highly recommend it.

A WFA class is worth taking for anyone who frequents the outdoors, whether you are a climber, skier, mountaineer, or hiker. And it's not just for those heading into deep wilderness - nearly 90% of all incidents* and 50% of all serious injuries* happen within just a few hours drive of NYC. (*Based on my experience.)

What to Expect on a Hike:
- We plan to stay together as a group, but this is a social event for hikers and not a guided hike. Everyone needs to be a self-sufficient hiker with adequate skills and equipment.
- If you are not comfortable hiking self-sufficiently or are not experienced enough to judge the skill and physical requirements in the route description, check out the Appalachian Mountain Club’s hikes or one of the many professional guides operating in the area.
***
Typical day-hiking gear list:
- Hiking footwear (boots or trail shoes), non-cotton clothing, sunscreen, bug spray, sunhat, sunglasses. (Permethrin insecticide treatment against ticks is great.)
- Rain gear and an extra warm layer.
- 2 liters/ 2 quarts of water minimum, 3 liters are suggested for a hot day.
- Lunch and snacks. Electrolytes on hot days.
- GPS app with offline maps: Avenza Maps App is free, and there is a free Harriman map in the in-app store. Mapy App has basic offline trail maps that are adequate. CalTopo ($20/yr) is an excellent GPS program. (AllTrails and GaiaGPS are poricy but also great.)
- Map & Compass: NYNJTC Harriman-Bear Mountain Trails or National Geographic Harriman, both available locally at REI.
***
Route Info: About 12 miles with about 1.5k' elevation gain at an average pace of about 2 mph. (Moving pace will be faster.)
- GPS: Black Ash-Skemonto-Claudius Loop
- Navigation and Route Finding: Blazed trails
- Terrain Type: Hiking trails that may be rough and steep (Class 2)
- Contingency Planning: Shorter routes and bailout points are available. Cell coverage can be spotty, but there's generally coverage.

Meeting Location & Logistics:
- Meeting Time: 10:40 am
- Meeting Location: Meet at the Tuxedo commuter parking lot off East Village Road (Google Maps). (Use the address 2 Powerhouse Ln, Tuxedo Park, NY 10987.)
- Public Transit: Take the 9:14 am NJ Transit train from Penn Station to Tuxedo Station, arriving at 10:29 am. The station is just around the corner from the parking lot where we are meeting. Return on the 6:44 pm train. Or the 4:20 train, or one of the hourly trains from Suffern via Uber. (Catching the 4:20 train might require cutting the hike short.)
