Our dedicated team of expert outdoor guides help nature-deprived New Yorkers discover the magic, peace, and beauty of nature in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Adirondacks, and Utah with guided trips and outdoor skills training.

We were founded on the conviction that everyone should be able to experience the restorative power of authentic wilderness. As so many new people have discovered their passion for the outdoors (especially in 2020), the Catskills have seen unprecedented use. In order to continue to offer trips that treat the wilderness responsibly and offer the opportunity to connect with the woods—without being surrounded by other people on busy trails—we’ve added a lot of new adventures to our calendar. 

We’re avoiding traditional routes to popular spots, in many cases opting to bushwhack to avoid crowds, even to summits with a trail. We’re featuring lesser known destinations, in many cases without naming them so that they remain wild and undiscovered. We’re offering some adventures that start on “off” times, such as Friday afternoon, and we’re offering the option of providing your own transportation. What this means is that you get to experience the Catskills as they were meant to be enjoyed—with the opportunity to connect with nature and find restoration in the forest.
