Our Spirit

Girls Gone Hiking is a hike club for girls who leave the city to breathe and, somewhere along the way, find each other.

We hike for a few hours, talk about everything and nothing, and usually share lunch somewhere that feels uniquely unhurried …usually that means visiting a local farm!

Past adventures have taken us to Bear Mountain, Cold Spring, Beacon, familiar trails that still feel new when you make new memories with others each time.

  • Most hikes start right from New York City. We either meet at a train station (usually Grand Central or Penn) for public-transit trips, or a designated carpool spot uptown. You’ll get all the details once you RSVP.

  • No need for a car. Every hike works by train or carpool. We’ll make sure you’re matched with someone — a driver, a group, a good conversation for the way up.

    If you do have a car, and feel like driving, let us know. It always helps.

  • Bring what you need to be comfortable: shoes you can walk in, a small pack, 1-2L of water. Layers, always. A hat if it’s hot. Snacks never hurt. In summer and fall, we’ll bring sunscreen and bug spray.

  • After the hike, we eat. Usually at a café, a farm, or some place near the trail that feels right. It’s the part people remember — the food, the quiet after, the easy talk with new friends.
