New York

**Join us for a scenic hike at High Mountain Park Preserve, one of New Jersey’s hidden gems!** This easy-to-moderate 5-mile loop takes about 3 hours, guiding us through forest trails, gentle climbs, and rocky paths. Along the way, we’ll reach viewpoints with stunning NYC skyline views on clear days, then continue to a small river where we’ll enjoy a relaxing snack break. It’s the perfect mix of nature, movement, and great company. Let’s explore together!

Pack your favorite sandwich and drink, we will have a snack break on the trail.

*We are getting away from the city to forget about timing, enjoy nature and socialize. If you’re looking to make new outdoorsy friends, you’ve found the perfect place. But if you’re seeking a fast-paced group, this might not be the right fit.*
