Anthony's Nose Hike!

Let's meet up to hike Anthony's Nose! We will be taking the 6:56AM train from grand central that gets into Manitou at 8:10 AM. We will meet at the Manitou train station and depart from the station at 8:15AM. I will post my cell number in the comments the day before. The hike itself is ~2.5 mile round trip. The walk from the Manitou train station to the Anthony's nose trail head is about 1.7 miles, making the total out and back (ending back at manitou station) ~6 miles. I will keep my eye on the weather to make sure no rain in the forecast. Bring hiking boots, water, and snacks. 🙂 🥾🍁

Catskill 3500 Bushwhack - North Dome

In order to officially secure your spot on this event and to receive the details email of where to exactly park and meet with us you must register on our site by clicking the link below. https://www.trailboundproject.com/service-page/catskill-3500-bushwhack-north-dome?referral=service_list_widget Our events typically fill up at 24 people for guided hikes! You won't see the attendees here on meetup as registrations are on our site but we wanted to let you know that we typically see large outings for all of our events! North Dome is a 3,610' tall trailless peak and one of the 33 Catskill 3500 peaks that one must climb to become a Catskill 3500 Club member. It's about 3 miles of on-trail and 2 miles of off-trail bushwhacking with a total of 2,000' of elevation change that takes 5 to 7 hours to complete. Although we'll take this hike at a leisurely to moderate pace, North Dome is infamous for its 5 cliff-bands, so prepare for lots of scrambling! It's a challenging hike, often times with mud and stinging nettles, so it's great to do with other TrailBounders! This will not be your typical guided hike. Every hike with TBP is an opportunity to learn, so for this hike, we will use map & compass combined with orienteering techniques to navigate. No electronics! Although the guides will do much of the map & compass work, all participants will get turns navigating, with the guides helping and teaching when needed. The objective is to build your confidence so you can go out and summit other trailless Catskill 3500 peaks alone or with others. Although North Dome is not known for its views, it does offer beautiful terrain and fun challenges. Join us for a fun day of navigating and scrambling! The parking and hike details are emailed after registration.

Yosemite Half Dome Backpacking

During your Yosemite Half Dome Hike adventure, tour Yosemite National Park as you climb the famous cables of Half Dome with ladies who do their own stunts. Live out every last one of those John Muir nature quotes in the backcountry of Yosemite National Park. Mountains calling? Check. Between two pines? Check. Walk with nature? Double-check. **GUIDED BACKPACKING IN YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK BACKCOUNTRY** Romp through the backcountry on a demanding, yet epic backpacking trip. Meet your new woman crushes in the Yosemite Valley as the landscape gives way to mountains, waterfalls, and a piney perfume that’ll make Yankee Candle totally jelly. Mother Nature swiped ALL THE WAY right. Leave the phone on airplane mode to immerse yourself in stunning national park backcountry over the course of four epic days. Climb steep, challenging trails to look down upon the Valley with a panoramic view that includes Mt. Starr King, Half Dome, Nevada Falls, Illilouette Falls, and plenty of ant-sized tourists with tiny selfie sticks. **HALF DOME: HIKING TO THE TOP** Fuel up for the real MVP—the famous cables of Half Dome! Blast that hiker booty (and bring plenty of water) while ascending 500 feet up a .5 mile of steps carved into the rock. Then, the real fun begins. It’s a 400-foot gain up the top of Half Dome with some points at 70%+ grades. Pace your footwork on wooden slabs spaced out on the climb as you get the upper body workout of a lifetime. Worth it? HELL YES! **BACKPACKING EQUIPMENT PROVIDED** Don’t have backpacking equipment, but can Beastmaster the stairs? Perfect. Explorer Chick has you covered with: * a backpack * sleeping bag * sleeping pad * shared tent All you need to do is show up for this Yosemite Half Dome Hike to backpack like a boss and get that National Parks bucket list checked. **See the website for full itinerary, details and to book.** [https://explorerchick.com/adventures/yosemite-half-dome-hike-backpacking](https://explorerchick.com/adventures/yosemite-half-dome-hike-backpacking/) **Say Hello 👋** **💻** Website: [https://explorerchick.com/](https://explorerchick.com/) 📧 Email: hello@explorerchick.com 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/](https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/) ❤️ Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/](https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/) 👯‍♀️ Facebook Group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick](https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick) 🎥 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick](https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick)

Monksville Reservoir Loop

Outdoors Book Club: Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies — William Golding When a group of British schoolboys become stranded on an uninhabited island, their attempt to build a civilized society gradually gives way to fear, violence, and chaos. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies is a dark exploration of human nature, power, morality, and what happens when the rules of civilization disappear. Typically our events last ~ 1.5 hours. Bring questions and topics to discuss. Afterwards, we will go socialize at a bar nearby.
