New York

Hit the trail with a pup and your people!

Social Paws and OUTSIDERS are teaming up for a dog-friendly group hike just outside the city, designed for anyone who loves dogs, getting outdoors and/ or wants to bring their four-legged friend along for the adventure.

We'll head out of NYC together via private transportation, hike a scenic trail at a relaxed pace, and soak up plenty of time for bonding, fresh air, and connection amid peak fall color. Afterward, we'll roll into Twin Star Orchards for some eats, a dog-centric local market curated just for the Social Paws crew, a short tour with orchard staff, and a few refreshing ciders before we bring everyone back to the city.

FAQ

*What isn't included in the ticket?* Meals are on your own and available for purchase at Twin Star Orchards: [<u>https://www.twinstarorchards.com/menu</u>](https://www.twinstarorchards.com/menu)

*How much time should I allot for this?* Our adventures are full-day trips. We don't recommend scheduling other activities on days you attend, especially since return times can be unpredictable.

*Is the hike guided?* This hike is 100% guided by OUTSIDERS hiking guides. One leads and one stays at the back of the group to account for different pace levels. The intention is to foster connection in a group setting. This hike is beginner-friendly and meant to be fun, not fast.

*What weather conditions would lead to a cancellation?* Extreme weather (storms, high winds) will lead to a cancellation. If driving is unsafe due to major storms, we will cancel. But we're looking forward to crisp, beautiful fall weather at the end of October!

*I'd love to bring my dog. What do I need to know?* Dogs must be comfortable around other dogs and people. We'll provide breaks for water, sniffing, and photos along the way.

*I don't have a dog. Can I still come?* Of course! Whether you're solo or with a furry friend, you and your pup are both welcome.
