Half Day Hikes
We’ll spend four to five hours on some of New York’s most scenic trails. Great for an introduction to hiking and New York’s Catskill Mountains, or a quick and thrilling experience that has you back in time for a late lunch. Approximately 4-6 hours in duration.
Hike the Devil’s Path
The Devil’s Path in the Catskill Mountains of New York is one of the most famous – and challenging – routes in the country. We’ll get you up and down its stunning peaks safely and help refine your hiking skills along the way.
Full Day Hikes
Grab your pack and plan for lunch on the trail, as we’ll venture into the wilderness of New York for an eight hour hike that is equal parts challenging and rewarding. Hikes range from 6-12 miles depending on the route – after booking, we’ll consult with you and choose the perfect route.
Hike the Adirondacks

“Today’s trip to see waterfalls was absolutely amazing! Brian is skilled and educated in every way possible to make us feel safe. He was extremely attentive and made sure we all felt comfortable. He paced the hike for us appropriately and asked all the right questions prior to the hike to figure out what we could and could not do. It was completely out of this world!!! We did not expect what we got and we don’t have many more words fore the experience other than it was magical! I haven’t been on a hike this good yet- and I hike internationally! Thank you Brian- I’ll be calling soon for a fall hike

“What can I say that hasn’t already been said about an experience with Brian! We had such an amazing day touring arwas we wpuld have never survived on our own. Brian made us feel safe and at ease the entire trip. And his phtography skills are top notch and ill treasure them forever. To add to Brians awesomeness, he even stopped to help another hiker in need and made surw that everyone got out safely. He has all my recommedations if anyone is looking for a different kind of adventure during your stay!”

What can I say—all around such a great experience! I asked for waterfalls, and that’s exactly what I got in the form of a formidable hike. I’m going to be sore for days but it was so worth it. The weather provided us with the best moody shots; I especially loved all the photos he captured and sent to me. Brian provided lots of great info on how the landscape got to look how it is today. He made sure I felt safe enough to keep going despite some sketchy areas and less-than-stable terrain. Great snacks, too! I could not have asked for a better guide. If you’re coming to the Catskills and don’t feel comfortable hiking alone, he is your best bet to have a remarkable experience. Even though I’m pretty comfortable hiking solo, I would not have done this particular route alone. Brian, thanks again (and again) for everything! I’ll definitely be back at some point!
