Catskill 3500 Guided Hike - Kaaterskill HP

In order to officially secure your spot on this event and to receive the details email of where to exactly park and meet with us you must register on our site by clicking the link below. https://www.trailboundproject.com/service-page/catskill-3500-guided-hike-kaaterskill-hp?referral=service_list_widget Our events typically fill up at 24 people for guided hikes! You won't see the attendees here on meetup as registrations are on our site but we wanted to let you know that we typically see large outings for all of our events! Kaaterskill High Peak, at 3,655', is one of the 33 Catskill 3500 peaks that one must climb to become a Catskill 3500 Club member. Note: This hike goes to the peak of the 3,655' mountain called Kaaterskill High Peak. It does not pass by or go to Kaaterskill Falls. This is a challenging hike of 8 miles and 2,100' of elevation change that we'll take at a moderate pace over the course of about 8 hours. Along the route of both marked and unmarked trails, we will visit two plane wrecks and a Mohawk Indian Camp. We'll split the group near the top so the more adventurous TrailBounders can take the fun steep scramble approach from the South, while the more conservative of us can take the more sensible approach from the North! Either way, we will all be rewarded with breathtaking views up top! Join the TrailBounders for an epic day of adventure! The parking and hike details are emailed after registration.

Chile Patagonia W+ Trek, Riverside Glamping, Thxgiving week (limited spots)

8 miles 3 borough beer run🍺 🏃🏻‍♀️

We have done this event many times. The goal is to hit 6 bars within the span of 8 hours. We usually get a nice group of people to hit all the bars. It is a super fun event. We usually get a beer at place and hang out there for 30 minutes to an hour and then proceed to run to the next stop. If you don't run you can walk the entire thing or crawl if you want :) It is a super fun way to drink beer. About a mile of beer is pint in calories of beer so you run and regain those calories with a pint. We repeat this 6 times. But again you can run the whole thing! It's a great workout with beer. The plan is to meet at Gregory Coffee on Madison and 52nd St at 12:30 and start running at 12:45 from there towards the The Jeffrey Craft & Beer. Map of the course: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6JrKRLNdZYLXFfN57 Here is the schedule: 12:30 Gregory Coffee - 485 Madison Ave 12:45 Run from Gregory Coffee to the Jeffrey Craft & Beer - 0.8 miles 13h00 Arrive at Jeffrey Craft & Beer - 311 E 60th St !4h00 Leave Jeffrey Craft & Beer and run towards Fifth Hammer in LIC - 2.3 miles 14h30 Arrive at Fifth Hammer Brewing - 10-28 46th Ave, Long Island City 15H30 Leave Fifth Hammer and run towards Brouwerij Lane - 1.5 miles 15h50 Arrive at Brouwerij Lane - 78 Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn 17h00 Leave Brouwerij Lane and run towards Sprintzenhaus - 0.8 miles !7h10 Arrive at Spritzenhaus - 33 Nassau Ave 18h20 Leave Spritzenhaus and run towards Haab - 1 mile 18h35 Arrive at Haab - 202 Leonard St - Haab has beer and burritos so this is also a food stop. 19h45 Leave Haab and run towards our final destination Pine Box Rock Shop 0.8 miles 20h00 Arrive at Pine Box Rock Shop - 12 Grattan St
