Have you been wanting to hold onto the last weeks of summer? Join us this time as we will be exploring the Rockefeller State Park Preserve via the Buttermilk Hill via Reservoir Loop (see link above). This easy leveled hike should last 1 hour and 39 minutes with beautiful views and sites. The exact length of the hike may vary depending on our speed and how many breaks we take. The hiking portion ought to be done around 3:00/3:30 pm with the optional After Hike Mingle to follow for food and drink at the Hollows Bar and Lounge, a 3 minute drive or a 14 minute walk from the Tarrytown Metro North train station. Meetup Spot: Arrive by 11:30 am at the Tarrytown Metro North train station where we will head to the trailhead by carpooling once everyone has arrived. (13 minute ride to trailhead) * Special Note: The time range of the event includes the optional After Hike Mingle and is flexible.* Directions for those who don't drive: 1) You could carpool with your friendly and welcoming group members (Very Popular Option) OR 2) Take the train from Grand Central to the Tarrytown train station on the Hudson line of the Metro North. (13 minute from the trailhead). ‘The Chosen People’s Hike’ WhatsApp Groups- Announcement link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Lw22mDVEB30ExQIsyIIj0V ( I post announcements and polls important to planning for hike attendees.) Trip Planning Group Chat link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LUNPLghDhnOEusVtspFb2C?s=cl&p=i&mlu=4 (This subgroup allows attendees to chat with and coordinate travel to the hikes with each other). Train Takers link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FGOnXxwmWyC4JSbWKCTJVv?s=cl&p=i&mlu=4 (This subgroup is for those taking the train to arrange train times, meet up at the station, or share your train car so you take the train together.) Two weeks before the hiking event, I share polls in the Whatsapp group related to coordinating travel including those who are offering a ride, those who need one, and those who would like to take the train together to the meetup spot. What is ‘ The Chosen People’ Whatsapp group for? - Coordinating traveling to the hike with others whether you are carpooling or taking the train together. - Being up to date with where we are the day of the hike or letting us know when you're arriving if you're running late. -Knowing who is planning to attend for an accurate number. -In case details slightly change closer to the day of the hike. *This WhatsApp group is used for all hikes including this one. Feel free to stay in the chat to be in the know for future hiking/outdoor events.*
