Surebridge Mountain 8.5-Mile Hike

Great new hike on some famous trails: the AT and the Long Path. We will hike past four notable geologic features while taking in the views of the Hudson Highlands.

Join other outdoor enthusiasts as we follow a series of winding trails in an area known for its numerous lakes and impressive views. There is magnificent scenery along the way and lots of climbing over this highly metamorphosed ridge system. Our loop route will take us to a lake halfway and over many twisting trails both ways.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
