You'll be in expert hands as you and five of your friends spend an afternoon hiking or biking with Mohonk Preserve Chief Ranger Dan Cassidy. The hike or bike adventure is totally customizable based on your interests and skill level.

One option is to start in the Mohonk Preserve Foothills at the Testimonial Gateway Tower, where Dan will share the history of this iconic property. Continue up Lenape Lane through open grasslands and heritage farmhouses, past Duck Pond, and on to the Trapps where you can check out climbers and boulderers in action!

Dan will customize the route for you depending on time of year and desired difficulty level. For hikers, you may even choose to include the well-known Labyrinth hike which includes the Lemon Squeeze and the Crevice, a section of ladders on your way to Sky Top!

Restrictions: Group size is limited to six. Everyone in the group must be able to hike or bike the planned route. Bring your preferred hydration and snacks.

**Expires 9/13/2026. Due to the schedule demands of the chief ranger, this hike must take place weekdays only (M-F). Sorry, but the hike cannot be extended beyond the expiration date.**
