This group is operated by Appalachian Mountain Club New York-North Jersey Chapter (7/1/22)
The New York-North Jersey Chapter of AMC was the first chapter formed by the club back in 1912. For over 100 years the NYNJ chapter has been protecting the precious natural resources of our region, providing skills and leadership training, and hosting 100's of outdoor activities every year for the public through our professional and dedicated volunteer trip leaders.
Beginner or expert the AMC NYNJ chapter has something for everyone. With activities that include hiking, biking, paddling, backpacking, skiing, climbing, and more we're sure you will find something you love. And since we know living in and around the NYC area can be difficult without a car, many of our activities are accessible through public transportation.
Beyond just the trips, training, and conservation advocacy we are a group that encourages community and camaraderie among it's members. Open and welcoming to anyone with an interest in the outdoors we hope that the shared knowledge and experiences between all of us will help you to grow within the outdoor community and create connections and friendships for a lifetime.
What sets us apart the other Meetup groups?
• Professionally trained volunteer leaders means our trips are well organized, safe AND fun!
• Easy access on public transportation to many of our activities.
• Activities are open to anyone, no membership dues are required, but your support helps.
• Your support helps us continue to protect more than 100,000 acres of land and 2,000 miles of trails under the care of the Appalachian Mountain Club.

Our early morning Memorial Day hike will be mostly on one of the park's gentler paths, the Red Trail.
For those comfortable with 7+ miles, we'll also take the Leatherman's Loop. The Leatherman's Loop is a more typical Ward Pound Ridge trail with ups-and-downs, including a 10 minute steady climb to Overlook, with great views of the Cross River Reservoir, and where we'll stop briefly for either a very early lunch or a snack. Leatherman's Loop also includes an optional 4 minute steep climb to the Leatherman's Cave, which has been recently cleaned up by the Westchester County parks department.
Dogs: Ward Pound Ridge is a dog-friendly park, and we are likely to encounter dogs on the trail, either on- or off-leash. If you wish to bring a dog, please private message the hike leader.
Public Transportation: Unfortunaetly, the nearest train station is 7.7 miles away, with limited holiday morning service. If you're looking for a transit-accessible hike, Joe Nigro's Memorial Day Garrison outing (offered by AMC) is a good bet.
