Explore the best of New York with your best friend, while we sweat all the little details. And forget about that selfie – as we’ll be getting you incredible shots of you together in the wild.
Palenville, Catskills
Whether you’re looking for the perfect date idea, an escape from the kids, a way to celebrate an anniversary – or an extraordinary way to pop the big question – we’ll create the perfect couples’ hike for you and that special someone. We’ve even helped with elopements too, and Brian, your guide, is a registered officiant!
And, we know just how hard it can be to get a good picture together – but we’ve got you covered. In addition to the candid and action shots throughout the trip, we’ll also bring out the 42 megapixel, full-frame DSLR camera to capture some intimate moments in stunning detail.
Hike Overview
While most of our couples’ hikes are around 4-5 hours long, you do have the option for a full day hike at no additional charge. We’ll reach out prior to your hike to discuss what type of hike you would prefer – relaxing, thrilling, scenic or serene – or anything in between. We’ve got options to summit high peaks, explore lush waterfalls, or walk the cliffs and ledges over the valleys – and much more.
On the day of the hike, we’ll meet up in the morning in Palenville, NY (unless otherwise noted) and hit the trails after a quick gear check. We’ll stop for occasional breaks and photo opportunities – or the big moment, as well as some snacks and a light picnic at a scenic vista. I’ve worked with many couples over the years, and will fine tune the hike as we go so that you both get the most of the experience.
