June 16th Hike

Once you get a taste for the mountains, the foothills never satisfy you again. - John Donohue

Join the Frassati Fellowship for our first summer hike up Breakneck Ridge, the most popular trail in the country, with wonderful views overlooking the Hudson!

This will be an intense, but very rewarding, strenuous hike, not for beginners, with some rock scrambling required. The trail is about 4 miles and has an ascent of about 1,200 ft. For your own safety you must be in good physical shape and must have proper footwear (closed toed shoes with good grips) to attend this hike. We will have other hikes later this year that are more accessible. To get a sense of the trail, visit this page.

We will meet for early morning Mass and eat a provided breakfast of coffee and bagels, then drive together to Breakneck Ridge. We will eat our packed lunches on the trail and have time set aside for reveling in God's creation as well as some low-pressure group prayer. After the hike, we will have dinner (and ice cream) together at a local establishment and return to NYC.

Thank you to all the drivers who signed up for this event - we now have enough to take everyone to the trailhead! We have now been able to reduce the ticket price to $25 for the hike.

We will send more details (what to bring, where to meet, etc.) to those who register. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at hiking@frassati.nyc.

Please read the following notes before you register:

• We cannot guarantee a return time back to the city, so please do not make evening plans.

• This event is open to all young adults in their 20's and 30's. If you are over 39 years of age, please do not sign up. You can find other fabulous events at Catholic NYC.

• Please only sign yourself up for this hike.

• Everyone who wants to attend the hike must register. You are welcome to invite all your friends, but they must sign up through this page!

• If spaces fill up, please sign up for the Waitlist and we will let you know asap if a space opens.

• We will accept cancellations up through Wednesday, June 13th. If you cancel after that, we will not be able to refund you. Please be mindful of the fact that last-minute cancellations make it difficult to find someone to fill your spot!

Thank you and we look forward to hiking with you!
