New York City Adventure Club

Living in Manhattan, it can often be hard organize outdoor activities and sports. Being raised in Seattle, all people do is hike, bike, boat, rock climb, etc. 

Therefore, when Raina and I moved to New York and started working 9-6 jobs, (where we sat at desks all day) we decided we should  get our friends together to do something active and fun on the weekends. Hence, the “Adventure Club” (formerly named the Hiking Club) was formed. 

With the crazy warm weather in New York, our first hike was last month in December. We traveled out to Garrison, NY on the commuter rail from Grand Central Station to do a moderate hike 15 minutes away from the train station.

Rachael (our group appointed President!) organized the trip and told us to wear layers and bright colors (hence Raina’s bright get-up — we named and called her Rudolph for the entire trip!) to stay warm and avoid hunting season.

This month, we’re going to Brooklyn Boulders to go indoor rock climbing! Our club is growing quite large and we’re even thinking of getting t-shirts so we can wear them when we go camping, snow-tubing, or whatever our adventure of the month is!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
