Fall City Escape - upstate hike + farm visit
What's better than fall in the city?! Fall upstate ☀️
Saturday, October 17th: say goodbye to city skyscrapers and hello to open sky!
Join Single Saturdays + Human Hearts Collective for a full day of fall foliage, fresh air, and the kind of connection that only happens when you're out of your usual environment.
Limited to just 13 people, this is an intimate day designed to help you slow down, get outside, and meet other like-minded singles.
Where we're going:
We're heading to Minnewaska State Park Preserve for one of the most iconic views in the Hudson Valley. Our hike traverses the ridge of Gertrude's Nose, a unique rock formation on the Shawangunk Ridge. We'll start at Lake Minnewaska — a glacial lake rimmed by towering white sandstone cliffs — then wind through carriage roads and woodland trails before reaching breathtaking views at the top of the ridge. With a keen eye and a little luck, you might spot local wildlife like a porcupine or black vulture. We'll end the day with a visit to a local farm before heading home.
What's Included:
Private driver, door-to-door, so you don't have to worry about parking or finding the group
