Enjoy a four-mile hike in Ramapo State Forest with multiple views of the NYC skyline, surrounding mountains, and lakes.

We’ll meet in the lobby of the Ridgewood Y at 8:45am, and depart at 9:00am. Travel time is roughly 20 minutes each way.
The hike will be approximately two hours but may be longer based on hiking speed—please expect to be gone for at least three hours total.

WHAT TO BRING: a backpack with lunch, snacks, water, sunblock/bug spray etc.

WHAT TO WEAR: Weather-appropriate clothes; layers work best. Footwear such as hiking boots, trail shoes, or sturdy sneakers. Bring an extra layer for the lunch break, as your body cools down quickly during rest.

TRANSPORTATION: Typically we will carpool from the YMCA, but you are welcome to drive yourself. (Location of trailhead will be provided)
