I decided to organize monthly urban hiking for friends. There’s so much accessible hiking from NYC and it’s great to see so many city dwellers out here with me! Here’s the scoop on the first trip to the Giant Stairs at Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey.
The day after Thanksgiving I went for my last hike of 2011 in the Catskills with Matt, Carrie, Franklin and Arthur. It was rather spontaneous, I first proposed the plan that Sunday to Matt, still itching to make use of newly purchased camp gear from our Arizona camping trip earlier in November. We decided on camping 2 nights and hiking a combination of 2 trails – the Wittenberg-Cornell-Slide (WCS) and the Phoenicia East Branch (PEB).
Geoffrey Tetris and I went into the woods to find our friend Jeremy Mandog. He’s backpacking a total of 2174 miles.
