Another fantastic hike yesterday, this time to the iconic Breakneck Ridge with an awesome group of people. OutYork has become my favorite go-to when I want to get out of NYC. Victor is a terrific leader. Energetic, funny, professional, knowledgeable and always making sure his hikers are doing well and are having fun. I love the variety of trips that are not only during weekends, but oftentimes during the work week as well. The meeting times at Grand Central / Penn Station are a huge plus (usually between 8:30am - 9:30am). The fee for the hiking trips are very reasonable and so are the train tickets for a comfortable and secure ride. Looking forward to my next hike with OutYork. I highly recommend them!:-)
