The New York-New Jersey Trail Conference (TC) Web site is your place for comprehensive information about the hiking trails in the greater NY-NJ metropolitan area. In general, these hikes are located within a two hour drive of Times Square.
At present the site provides descriptions of parks in the various regions and includes a large number of hikes you can do. Using the trail maps and the various guides that you can purchase from our online store, you can also design your own hike. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!
The site is organized in what we hope is an intuitive way for you to quickly find what you need. Of course, at any time, you can enter keywords into the site's search bar at the upper right and find any references that exist on the site.
Go Hiking leads you to information about parks and specific hikes. There is also essential information on how to prepare for a hike, trail etiquette, and trail conditions. Our organization is made up of individuals as well as a large number of hiking clubs. These clubs organize hikes that you can join, and we point you to their Web sites so you can find out more about their activities.
Be Informed is the entry point for all sorts of information about the hiking experience and Trail Conference activities. This section is still under construction, so it may not have everything you'd like to see right now. Please send us your suggestions of things to add or improve here.
Get Involved is an important part of the site. Here you can learn about our advocacy, conservation and on- and off-trail stewardship activities. We are a volunteer organization and would love your help!
