Escape New York City Retreat | Daytrippin’ to Beacon and Back!
I’m totally stoked to announce the launch of our first Escape NYC Retreat and invite NYC-based babes to join us on Saturday, April 25th to hike in Beacon, NY! Retreat from hectic city life to the beautiful Hudson Highlands, where you will spend your day in the awesome outdoors!
Your perfect day trip from New York City starts with a scenic 90 minute train ride along the Hudson. Once in Beacon, we will leisurely warm-up on a 25 minute walk to the trailhead. Mount Beacon is a steep, rigorous, but worthwhile climb to the top (about 45 minutes), and an easy climb back down the mountain (about 30 minutes), before we head into town for a guided walk.

- Expert-led scenic hike up Mount Beacon
