Nature Exploration Hike

Hiking is the ultimate way to enjoy the outdoors and reduce stress. Regardless of the intensity level, it is a great way to burn calories and stay fit. Our Urban Park Ranger hiking guides will introduce you to the hidden gems of New York City and places often off limits to the general public. On our hikes, you may explore nature, discover our City's rich history and diverse culture, or just unplug from the world to clear your head.

On Nature Exploration Hikes we will discover the plants and animals that inhabit the urban forest. Fitness Hikes feature less talking and more walking, for those who don't mind a vigorous two hour hike. Learn how to navigate using a map and compass on our Orienteering programs. Special geo-cache programs teaches you how to use a GPS while searching hidden prizes.

This particular hike is classified as vigorous. The distance will be long, and the terrain will be rugged and hilly.

For all hiking programs we recommend wearing comfortable shoes or boots, and packing water and a light snack.
