Staying local this Christmas? Don’t celebrate? Or just want to have a unique holiday experience? This hike is for you.  We are teaming up with Adventures Untamed for this special hiking experience!

YOU MUST REGISTER AT Wyanokie Mountains and Chikahoki Falls AND USE THE CODE NYSN.

Join friends – old and new – on a beautiful hike. Wyanokie High Point was described as “one of the most amazing views in New Jersey” by onlyyourstate.com. And this is indeed a beautiful hike, with moderate terrain. There is only one section of the trail that has a steeper uphill. That section is also studded with viewpoints – a reward for your hard work! We’ll reach Wyanokie High Point in time for lunch, then check out beautiful waterfalls on the way back.

Even with some rolling uphills, this is a moderate hike, and you will be able to spend the day enjoying views and conversation. We’ll of course have some surprise Christmas treats for everyone. And we are staying very close to NYC, so there is no long drive home.
