Raise your hand if you’re ready for fall foliage and killer views of the Hudson Valley and Bear Mountain? Yup, me too.
About the hike: (Moderate) We’re headed to Anthony’s Nose trail near Cold Spring, NY where you’ll also be able to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail. If you’ve looking for a hike with a bit of a challenge, then this might do the trick. The first section of the hike is the steep 500-foot rock staircase (takes about 20-30 minutes to go up), then the trail levels out leading to the overlook with the epic views where we will take a break to rehydrate, meditate and journal before heading back. If you aren’t sure about the rock staircase, check out the photo below and/or you can read a play by play here.

Mood: Since the Full Moon has the tendency to bring everything (both positive negative) up to the surface with all its extra energy, going out for a hike to reset in nature seems like the next best step.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Distance: 2.6 miles⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Public Transportation: You can take the Metro-North Hudson line to the Manitou stop. Or, drive there. I’ll email the exact meetup spot a week prior to the hike.
Bathrooms: Only on the trains and in Cold Spring. There aren’t any at the trailhead or on the way.

Important updates: If you’ve come to other hikes you know we could be a group of 5 or 25 BUT because Covid-19 (see more updates below), there’ll be no more than 10-12 people per hike to give us ample room to be socially distant.
Must wear face masks (and wear them properly)
Must stay 6 feet apart
Must be in good health
Must be okay with getting their temperature checked via our handy forehead thermometer
Bring your own snacks and water. I’ll be sending out an email 3 days prior and then the night before all with information on how to prep, what to pack, and more. Refunds are not available but you can transfer your ticket to someone else. If it rains, the hike will be rescheduled for the following day.
