Join us for a fun day trip to Bucks County, PA, where we'll start with a visit to Ross Mill Farm, a unique farm dedicated to the care, education, and understanding of pet pigs. The farm is also a foster home for the Pig Placement Network and currently cares for more than 100 pigs waiting for their forever homes. We'll spend about 1–2 hours at the farm getting up close with the pigs, learning about these surprisingly intelligent animals, and hearing some of their stories. Ross Mill has been working with pet pigs since 1990 and is nationally recognized for its expertise in their care and behavior. After the farm, we'll head to Peddler's Village, a charming collection of shops, restaurants, and winding walkways that feels like a little village straight out of a storybook. We'll have time to explore the shops, grab a drink, relax, and enjoy a meal together before heading back to NYC. We will meet in the city and travel together (transportation provided). The cost of the trip is $85 and it includes tickets for the experience. Please rsvp and if you haven' yet, join our brand new community where all the new trips will be announced first.

Yosemite Half Dome Backpacking

Hit your bucket list with all the feels on this women’s guided hiking and backpacking weekend! During your Yosemite Half Dome Hike adventure, tour Yosemite National Park as you climb the famous cables of Half Dome with ladies who do their own stunts. Live out every last one of those John Muir nature quotes in the backcountry of Yosemite National Park. Mountains calling? Check. Between two pines? Check. Walk with nature? Double-check. **GUIDED BACKPACKING IN YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK BACKCOUNTRY** Romp through the backcountry on a demanding, yet epic backpacking trip. Meet your new woman crushes in the Yosemite Valley as the landscape gives way to mountains, waterfalls, and a piney perfume that’ll make Yankee Candle totally jelly. Mother Nature swiped ALL THE WAY right. Leave the phone on airplane mode to immerse yourself in stunning national park backcountry over the course of four epic days. Climb steep, challenging trails to look down upon the Valley with a panoramic view that includes Mt. Starr King, Half Dome, Nevada Falls, Illilouette Falls, and plenty of ant-sized tourists with tiny selfie sticks. **HALF DOME: HIKING TO THE TOP** Fuel up for the real MVP—the famous cables of Half Dome! Blast that hiker booty (and bring plenty of water) while ascending 500 feet up a .5 mile of steps carved into the rock. Then, the real fun begins. It’s a 400-foot gain up the top of Half Dome with some points at 70%+ grades. Pace your footwork on wooden slabs spaced out on the climb as you get the upper body workout of a lifetime. Worth it? HELL YES! **BACKPACKING EQUIPMENT PROVIDED** Don’t have backpacking equipment, but can Beastmaster the stairs? Perfect. Explorer Chick has you covered with: * a backpack * sleeping bag * sleeping pad * shared tent All you need to do is show up for this Yosemite Half Dome Hike to backpack like a boss and get that National Parks bucket list checked. **See the website for full itinerary, details and to book.** [https://explorerchick.com/adventures/yosemite-half-dome-hike-backpacking](https://explorerchick.com/adventures/yosemite-half-dome-hike-backpacking/) **Say Hello 👋** **💻** Website: [https://explorerchick.com/](https://explorerchick.com/) 📧 Email: hello@explorerchick.com 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/](https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/) ❤️ Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/](https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/) 👯‍♀️ Facebook Group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick](https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick) 🎥 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick](https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick)

Expedition: Kilimanjaro Climb for Charity

**Expedition: Kilimanjaro Charity Climb** **Dates: September 7th – September 14th, 2026** For the serious mountaineer, Mount Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft) serves as the ultimate high-altitude laboratory. The Mountaineering Club of New York is partnering with Jumbo Earth Travel to offer this 7-day expedition via the Marangu route—specifically chosen as a controlled, relatively safe environment to test your body’s response to extreme altitude. Whether you are looking to break the 19,000-foot barrier for the first time or are using this as a critical training milestone for technical objectives like Denali or the Himalayas, this climb provides the essential "thin air" exposure needed to build your high-altitude resume. **The Mission: Climbing for Conservation** Mount Kilimanjaro is the "Water Tower" of East Africa, but the wildlife in the plains below is facing an unprecedented drought crisis. To support the protection of these ecosystems, **50% of all expedition profits will be donated to HydraNest.** **[HydraNest](https://hydranest.org/)**[ ](https://hydranest.org/)is a non-profit dedicated to mitigating the impact of drought on Sub-Saharan wildlife through innovative, biomimetic water reservoirs. By joining this climb, you are directly funding the installation of sustainable, off-grid water sources that keep wildlife corridors hydrated and safe. **The Objective: Marangu Route** The Marangu route was specifically chosen by MCNY for its logistical advantages in a high-altitude training environment: * **Optimized Recovery:** Unlike tent-based routes, Marangu utilizes a permanent hut system. For the mountaineer, this means superior thermal regulation and better rest. * **Technical Preparation:** This trek is the gold standard for learning how your body handles "thin air" before committing to technical environments like Denali or the Himalayas. * **Professional Support:** Jumbo Earth Travel provides professional local guides and porters, allowing you to focus entirely on pacing and acclimatization. **Exclusive MCNY Group Pricing** We have negotiated an exceptional discount with Jumbo Earth Travel to make this conservation mission accessible to our community. * **MCNY Member Rate\*:** $1,900 (per person) * **Non-Member Rate:** $3,000 (per person) Registration Fee: A $100 club registration fee is required to secure your slot. This fee is included in the pricing shown above. You'll be asked to pay the balance after the group size is finalized \*Memberships start at just $25/year. If you are not a member, join today by [registering on our club website!](https://nymountaineers.org/become-a-member) **What is Included:** * **Accommodations:** Full 7-day expedition logistics, plus hotel stays immediately before and after the climb. * **Mountain Meals:** All meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are **fully provided** while on the mountain. * **Note on Hotel Dining:** While your room is covered, meals at the hotel basecamp are available for purchase but are not included in the expedition price. **Gear & Preparation** * **Training:** MCNY will organize a series of local training hikes to prepare the team for the "Roof of Africa." * **Gear Rental:** Essential high-altitude gear is available for rent through our partners in Tanzania. * **Safari Extension:** Discounted safari add-ons can be arranged through Jumbo Earth Travel. **Cancellation and Refund Policy** To ensure we can guarantee our commitments to our guides and the HydraNest donation, the following policy applies: * **Registration Fee:** The $100 club registration fee is **non-refundable** upon payment. * **Expedition Balance:** **Before August 7th, 2026:** 100% of the expedition balance (excluding the registration fee) is fully refundable. **On or After August 7th, 2026:** All payments are final and **non-refundable** due to fixed logistical commitments in Tanzania. Ready to advance your mountaineering career? RSVP to join the roster. Detailed itinerary, gear lists, and payment instructions will follow.

Yellowstone Women’s Hiking and Hot Springs Weekend

PTO hanging on by a thread like your favorite ugly bra? We blow the roof off of what’s possible to do and see in 4 days with this women-only hiking and hot springs adventure weekend in Yellowstone National Park! You’ll meet up with the group girlies in Jackson, WY for a caffeinated drive to Old Faithful, which erupts every 90 minutes like the bad bitch she is! Gawk as you walk amongst ONE-QUARTER of the world’s geysers in Yellowstone’s stunning Upper Geyser Basin. Get all the braggy photos of Grand Prismatic’s steaming rainbow that’s way more dramatic than a Beyonce Met Gala look. Hike past giant Hoodoo rock formations and stunning basalt columns that might turn you into a giant geology nerd. We’ve got sneaky waterfall stops. Choose-your-own adventure hikes. Secret trails… along with Yellowstone classics––like a Hoodoo hike into Mammoth Hot Springs, a friggin wildlife safari in the Lamar Valley, and a canyon walk into Artist’s Point at sunrise. And to top it all off, we’ll slip into a hot spring as the sun sets, letting those adventure muscles soak while you bask in some serious golden-hour goddess vibes. We could see grey wolves, grizzlies, bison, eagles, and more. We’ll enjoy hearty meals and our own private shuttle that blasts Stevie Nicks. Plus daily free time for introvert recharging and comfy lodge beds to rest our happy bones. Give us your overworked bodies for one long weekend, and we’ll give you back your feral souls. **See the website for full itinerary, details and to book.** [https://explorerchick.com/trip/yellowstone-womens-hiking-weekend/](https://explorerchick.com/trip/yellowstone-womens-hiking-weekend/) **Say Hello 👋** **💻** Website: [https://explorerchick.com/](https://explorerchick.com/) 📧 Email: [hello@explorerchick.com](http://hello@explorerchick.com/) 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/](https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/) ❤️ Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/](https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/) 👯‍♀️ Facebook Group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick](https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick) 🎥 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick](https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick)
