From the group founder: "I love hiking and everything outdoors but lately I find myself persuading friends to go and do stuff with me simply because it is not their kind of thing. That leaves me not doing as much of the hiking I want to do because it's better to do these things with other people. Anyway, my search for people to do these things with led me here only to find most of the groups are filled with members who are older than me." So that is how this group came to be! Any outdoor adventu …

Adventure is closer than you think. Life's Short, Hike More!

This is a group for New Yorkers who love to get into nature but fall into one or more of these categories: 1) Somewhat daunted by 20 mile, 5000 ft elevation-gain day hikes; 2) New to hiking and camping; 2) Just like to amble along and enjoy the scenery and the company rather than rush to a destination. I want to plan some chill day-hikes, some chill overnights, and just overall some chill activities that will get us out of this fantastic city from time to time.
