Our New York City group is heading out for our annual fall hike to soak in autumn foliage along the Arden Point and Glenclyffe Loop. It is a fantastic opportunity to step away from the city, catch scenic views of the Hudson River, and connect with fellow queer and ally professionals in a relaxed outdoor setting. We will enjoy an easy, four-mile walk along flat wooded paths, followed by an informal tailgate to unwind and build lasting relationships. Whether you are coming solo or bringing a leashed pup, everyone is welcome to join the adventure.
Save Your Spot!
Register in advance or even the morning of the hike! Please note this hike is weather-dependent; we will monitor the forecast and send notice of any change to our rain date of Sunday, November 8th as soon as updates are available.
