Summary of Take a Hike New York City: Hikes Within Two Hours of Manhattan

Hiking around New York City is not just about a trek through Central Park or between high rises. Award-winning writer Skip Card shows you the best hikes in and around The Big Apple. All hikes within the guide take less than two hours to reach by car, with details on public transportation options and clear directions on how to reach each trailhead.

Let Skip show you all the worthwhile hikes, from short, flat routes suitable for families to day-long, steep treks for more advanced hikes. Hike profiles contain practical information including point-by-point trail navigation, facilities, fees, parking instructions, and an easy-to-use map for each trail. Moon Take a Hike New York City covers trails within the city and parts of Long Island, New Jersey, the Shawangunks and Hudson Valley, and explores the Appalachian Trail.
