**Turkey Day Hike**

come join us as we **head north to experience the beauty of the Hudson Valley with a LEISURELY hike up to ANTHONY'S NOSE,** which offers mountaintop views well worth all the huffin' and puffin' to get up there 😆

**\*\*PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SLOW LEISURELY PACE HIKE. We hike together as a group. If you're unwilling to stick with the group PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP. There are plenty of other groups that cater to your need for speed.\*\***

**About Anthony's Nose:** This is a rugged ridge in the Hudson Highlands near Cortlandt Manor. A steep, 500-foot rock staircase takes you up the first section of the 2.6-mile hike, then a relatively flat trail leads to an overlook with views of the Hudson River and Bear Mountain Bridge.

**GETTING THERE:** In the morning, we'll meet at the **Port Authority Bus Terminal** to take the 8:45AM Coach USA bus to Bear Mountain. Bus will arrive at Bear Mountain Inn at around 10:30am.

From Bear Mountain Inn, we'll walk across the Bear Mountain Bridge to the trailhead to Anthony's Nose.

**We'll go up to the Nose nice and slow.** The trail starts out with some simple scrambling but flattens out as you reach the top. At the top there are some spectacular views of Bear Mountain vicinity. We'll have lunch at the top before making our way back down.

Then we come back down same way. we'll then walk about 1.5 Miles on paved road (route 9D) to Manitou Metro-North station. Train to NYC leave every hour on the 0:29.

**Return train:** we'll pick up Metro-North from MANITOU station to go back to **GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL.** One-way off-peak ticket is $15.25. **(Make sure you have a Metro-North train ticket before boarding train at Manitou! THERE IS NO TICKET VENDING MACHINE AT MANITOU STATION!!!!)**

**HIKE INTENSITY:** Easy to Moderate to Easy. Anthony's Nose trail involves rocky trails and some rock scrambling to reach the top.

**TOTAL MILEAGE:** 6-7 MILES.

**PACE**: **We go at LEISURELY PACE**. We will have stops for water breaks, lunch break, take time to hug some trees along the way, taking time to smell and savor the sight and sounds of nature **AND NO ONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND. WE COME TOGETHER, WE HIKE TOGETHER AND WE FINISH HIKE TOGETHER. Please do not join if you cannot respect my wish for this to be a LEISURELY day of hiking.**

**DURATION**: This is an all-day event. There are no early bailouts. If you cannot stick with us for the whole day, PLEASE STAY HOME.

**THE IMPORTANT STUFF:**

* Dress in non-cotton layers.
* Wear appropriate shoes suitable for hiking.
* Bring at least 3 liters of liquid to stay hydrated.
* Bring lunch and snacks for yourself.
* Carry all your stuff in a backpack. ***You will need your hands free for some light rock scrambling up to Anthony's Nose!!***
* Bring a sense of adventure and a positive attitude. A smile also goes a long way. Please leave the drama and crankiness at home.
