Even if you don’t have a car (or a license, or you don’t feel like navigating MetroNorth) escaping the city for the day and retreating to upstate NY can be tough. Luckily, your hiking and communing with nature just got so much easier thanks to Bushwick-based company, Take a Hike NYC.

Take a Hike NYC organizes hikes from Bushwick! The founder, Kaitlin Edleman, started the company after she realized that traveling upstate to hike always seemed to be a big production–from figuring out public transportation to renting a car to get to the trails. Luckily, Kaitlin found a way to change that. For a reasonable fee, hikers will get to secure transportation to and from the trails and participate in a hike lead by a New York State licensed guide.
