Blood, Sweat & Cheers says Outdoor Bound’s late-night treks are easy getaways

Blood, Sweat & Cheers  “It’s mid-August, and it seems like everyone’s fled the city for greener—or sandier—pastures. And after yet another workday that began with the sweaty subway shuffle, nothing sounds better than getting out of town—even if it’s just for one night. Here’s your solution: Outdoor Bound’s bi-weekly Midnight Hike, a wilderness adventure that’ll have you trekking moonlit trails, swimming under the stars and back in the city before last call. Since Outdoor Bound organizes the trip—from plotting the route to round-trip transportation from the Upper West Side—all you need is a flashlight, towel and hankerin’ for s’mores. ‘Cause trips include a midnight dip in a lake, warming post-swim campfire and marshmallows to roast. Take it from us: The world’s best foods are served on a stick.”

Living in NYC means that your exposure to real nature—trees, plants, natural bodies of water, etc.—is extremely limited. When I find a patch of grass in a park to relax on, its a rare and exciting occurrence. That’s why I was SO ready to join a hiking trip with Outdoor Bound, an amazing adventure company.”
