Description

Let's explore our backyard together with a group hike in Pelham Bay!

Camp Uwani, Mappy Hour and The North Face are teaming up for a 3ish mile hike in NYC's largest park.

This is a casual hike that will pass massive oak trees, salt marshes and a great network of trails.

Our itinerary:

• We will meet at the Orchard Beach Bus station
• We'll do a beginner friendly 2.7 mile hike together to the beach
• We'll stop and find a spot at the beach to hang out, eat lunch and win some prizes from our friends at The North Face!
• you can return to the bus stop (1 mile) at your leisure with new MH friends!

What to pack:

• Please wear comfortable sneakers or hiking boots 🥾
• Athletic clothing you can sweat in 💦
• We always recommend a hat, sunscreen, and sunnies because it's JULY! ☀️
• Bathing suit and towel for a post hike dip
• Pack a lunch to eat at the beach
• at least 1 liter of water

Navigating Public Transit!

• for newcomers to this area, don't worry, it's fairly straight forward!
• take the 6 train to it's terminus at Pelham Bay Park
• You'll see signs for the Bx12 bus to Orchard Beach (it's fairly popular)
• the bus goes straight to our meeting spot
• at the Orchard Beach Bus Station, you'll head out back to the benches. Check out this map for a visual
