Experience a day of fresh air, panoramic views, and vibrant Caribbean flavors on our *Summit + Savor* adventure. We’ll set out early from NYC toward the tranquil woods of High Mountain Park Preserve, where the Loop trail leads us through forest and streams to a lookout point and waterfall, a beautiful contrast of wilderness and reward. According to trail guides, the loop covers about 4.9 miles with roughly 680 feet of elevation gain, offering both steady movement and scenic payoff.

After soaking in the trail, forested paths, flowing water, and high-ridge vista, we’ll celebrate with a Caribbean-inspired meal (think jerk-spiced chicken or tofu, sweet plantains, fresh island sides) to round out the day with flavor and fellowship.
