Helllllloooooooo Whiteblaze! My apologies if I’m posting this in the wrong place. I grew up in NY and hiked, backpacked, canoed, kayaked, snowshoed and skied all over NY and New England - NY ‘Gunks, Catskills and Finger Lakes, MA Berkshires, NH Presidentials, VT Green Mountains and South, and Maine Coast especially around Acadia National Park. I’ve been in the SF Bay Area most of the last decade, so everything old is new again : ) I’m a lightweight backpacker - learned L and UL gear and techniques, though I'm not UL and while I like to keep a light pack for the freedom and enjoyment, I don't sweat the grams.
My wife and I will be spending some months in the Greater NYC Area and even after this we’ll be visiting family here more often, and we’re wondering: What are the best and most active hiking, backpacking and paddling groups and meetups in and around NYC & New England for finding group trips, hiking and backpacking partners and carpoolers? Weekend, long weekend and day trips. Appreciate any you can suggest. Some we know already, though not sure how they compare these days in terms of activity:AMC NY-NJ ChapterAMC NY-NJ Canoe and KayakADK Adirondack Mountain Club
