New York

Hit the trail with your pup and your people!&#x20;
Social Paws and Outsiders are teaming up for a dog-friendly group hike just outside the city.&#x20;
This is designed for anyone who loves getting outdoors and wants to bring their four-legged friend along. We'll head out of NYC together via private transportation, hike a scenic trail at a relaxed pace, and enjoy time for bonding, fresh air and connection. Afterward, we'll head to 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 some refreshing ciders before bringing 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 our adventures, especially because times can be unpredictable.
* **Is the hike guided?** This hike is 100% guided by Outsiders hiking guides. One will lead and one will be 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 type of weather conditions would lead to a cancellation?** Extreme weather conditions (storms, high winds) will lead to a cancellation. If driving is unsafe due to major storms then we will cancel. But we're looking forward to beautiful spring weather at the end of March!
* **I'd love to bring my dog - what do I need to know?** Dogs must be comfortable around other dogs and people. We will provide breaks for water, sniffing and photos. 
* **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 welcome.
