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
