Hiking iking is a year-round activity. It can be a walk through the woods after a snowstorm in early February, the boughs of the hemlocks still laden with the new snowfall. Or climbing a rocky Lake Minnewaska hillside overlooking a woodland valley transformed in late October into a tapestry of russet, orange and yellow. Or discovering spring wildflowers atop a hill high above the Hudson River. Sundance offers day hikes as well as hiking weekends.
Some hikes are accessible by public transportation, while other hikes are reached via carpooling.
Most day hikes are no more than a two-hour drive from Manhattan.
