What we’re about
This group is for adults who like to hike, snowshoe, x-country ski, kayak, canoe, bicycle and pursue other outdoor activities. We will focus these activities in the Shawangunk Mountains and in other Hudson Valley locations like the Catskills, Taconics, Hudson Highlands on both sides of the river, and other areas we find interesting. Hikes and other activities will range from easy to difficult. The pace may be slow, moderate or even somewhat brisk (depending on your fitness level and experience), but our coordinators will attempt to make certain that everyone finishes as part of the group.

Clarence Fahnestock State Park Trails. @5 Miles. Elevation gain @1350 ft. Expect to exert yourself as we climb this pretty little mountain. You should be in good cardio shape for this climb. At times we will navigate rugged terrain (rocks/ tree roots). We will be hiking a loop that consists of the Fahnestock (Blue), Route Hill Bypass (Green) and School Mountain (White) trails. We will ascend a mountain along our trek. Once we complete the summit, and enjoy the beautiful view, there is a long, more leisurely hike out where we will get to see the remnants of old stone walls and foundations. We will continue hiking by small streams and a small meadow.

We are a social group that values laughter, good conversation, and comradery. That being said, our participants need to be active people who hike on a regular basis. Please be able to hike at a relaxed pace 1.8 - 2.0 mph. Please bring maps, wear hiking boots, first aid supplies, snacks and lots of water. IF YOU HAVE A NEED FOR SPEED THIS IS NOT THE HIKE FOR YOU.
Please feel free to message us with any questions you may have.
No dogs please.
