JOIN US HIKE AT KAATERSKILL FALLS IN THE CATSKILLS IN HONOR OF the autumn equinox.
Ready to see the highest cascading waterfall in New York State?
When I tell you that this hike is just too good, I’m not kidding. This short but steep hike takes you to the base of one of the highest waterfalls in the Catskill Mountains. All in less than two miles, so while a tad steep, it’s ideal for beginners. The water drops 175 feet from the top, past a natural amphitheater created by the overhang of the upper falls cap rock.

It’s about a 2-hour drive from NYC and absolutely worth it. We hiked there twice in 2019. This shot above is from behind the waterfall in August 2019. Wild!
WHY HIKE?
It boosts endorphins, reduces stress and helps keep you present. By allowing ourselves to be unapologetically spiritual in a place like the outdoors, we honor and affirm how we take up space in the world.
WHY JOURNAL?
The peace you get from being out on a hike naturally leads to personal reflection because your mind is super clear and you’re tapped into your highest self. Writing in this state is a powerful way to connect with yourself and what you want out of life. Once the pen hits the paper, anything is possible.
SIDE EFFECTS OF HIKING WITH US INCLUDE:
Spiritual freedom as we unapologetically take up space in nature, self-esteem on point, nature high that lasts about a week, inner peace, remembering who the fuck you are, feeling grounded, deep connection with nature, appreciation for ancestral land a.k.a. Pachamama, self-revelations through journaling, and the sassiness to stand in your power. You’ll always walk away from a hike feeling better than how you came in.
