What we’re about
Explore New Jersey, the Garden State, and get a fitness experience! We organize hikes for all skill levels.
Founded in 2015, the Mission of Hiking New Jersey for Young Professionals is to safely introduce members and guests to the beauty and fun of the hiking and outdoor fitness experience in New Jersey and the surrounding area. We have consistently offered hikes on a weekly basis for the past 7 years (rain, snow, humidity you name it we haven’t missed a weekend yet)!
If you’re a young professional in your 20s or 30s looking to meet new people, see great views, and/or challenge yourself, you’ll enjoy this group’s easy going dynamic and various events. We always welcome new hikers of various skills and encourage you to join.
For safety reasons, we require each member to use a recognizable portrait of themselves for their profile photo.
We all benefit through the wealth of open-access trails New Jersey has to offer. All our hikes are free, we do ask each member after their 30 day free trial to contribute $5 a year to help us have a group on Meetup.com which charges organizers a monthly subscription fee.
When considering which hiking level is best for you here are some general guidelines:
Beginner 0-5 miles / Elevation under 500 ft
Intermediate 6-8 / Elevation between 500-1000ft
Advanced 9+ Miles / Elevation over 1000 ft
Look forward to seeing you on the trails.
