New York City: Annual Fall Hike

  • meet at Garrison Train Station 33 Lower Station Road Garrison, New York, 10524 United States (map)

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.
