Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK).
We sponsor three hikes weekly throughout the year in the scenic and
historic Hudson Highlands region of New York and New Jersey. To see our
current quarterly schedule, click the Hikes link below. Note that the

hundreds of miles of trails ranging from the Ramapo/Wyanokie hills of
Bergen/Passaic Counties up to the Shawangunks and Catskills, with our
base in Bear Mountain/Harriman State Park in Rockland/Orange Counties
- road bike tours in the New York/New Jersey area
- quarterly member meetings featuring educational speakers and an
annual holiday party social
- special events such as day outings to the Mohonk Mountain House and
a fall or winter weekend
- extended hiking excursions to New England, including the White
Mountains in New Hampshire and Maine
- the opportunity to contribute to the preservation and extension of
hiking lands and viewsheds in our region (see the newsletter)
New hikers, whether members or not, are strongly encouraged to select
hikes appropriate to their capabilities. Ramapo Chapter hikes are rated
for Pace (A, B or C)-Mileage (number)-Terrain (A,B
or C), with C designating
easier hikes and A more challenging ones. We
recommend that new hikers should first try a C or
short B hike before undertaking a more difficult
one; otherwise, you may not fully enjoy the hiking experience. If you
have any doubts, please contact the hike leader in advance.
If you have any questions about our hikes or other Ramapo chapter
activities, you can send us an e-mail by clicking on
