The trip departs from 96th and Broadway at 8:30am. Come prepared with a small day pack, comfortable shoes, lunch, snacks, and three liters of water.
In our workweek stupor, we often forget about the awesome natural beauty that lies just beyond our city. Fortunately, the perfectly named Urban Escapes reawakens our inner Romantic with curated expeditions to New York's rural wonders. Today, make the most of the government-given holiday with a Breakneck Ridge hike, an all-day climb that peaks with a spectacular panorama of the Catskills, the Shawangunk Mountains, and the entire Hudson Valley. After some tough scrambling ascents, the trek pauses for an alfresco lunch at an old lookout tower with the picturesque landscape as a breathe-easy backdrop.
