Usal Hike Club - Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian Trail - Piece By Piece
This month, we’re returning to a new stretch of the Appalachian. Six miles, 1600 feet of elevation, a steady climb that edges you past your usual range and asks you to give just a little bit more of yourself.
Just 90 minutes from Brooklyn, this stretch of the Appalachian runs through New York. A trail people commit months to crossing in full, here for us to move through in a day.
There’s a rhythm to it. The climb sets the pace. Conversations thin out, then pick back up. Legs settle in, breath deepens. The trail gives you distance, and something to meet within it.

About
Riley Hunt’s relationship to the outdoors started early, shaped by time in the mountains between Utah and California with two mountaineers for parents. Now based in Manhattan, he spends his days as an international wine importer, moving between city life and the landscapes that continue to ground him—running, fishing, and riding through New England whenever he can.
