Join Caravan for our last hiking trip of the season — a fully hosted Concrete to Countryside escape featuring a scenic fall hike at Sterling Forest State Park and a true farm-to-table lunch at AOOA Farm.
We’ll meet at Washington Square Park at 7:30 AM for PopUp Bagels + coffee before heading out of the city at 8:00 AM. From there, we’ll drive about an hour to Sterling Forest State Park for the Sterling Lake Loop, a scenic 4.3-mile easy loop around Sterling Lake.
After the hike, we’ll head about 35 minutes to AOOA Farm for a farm-to-table lunch made with ingredients grown and raised right on the farm. Expect a cozy, seasonal meal and a chance to slow down and enjoy one last fall day in the countryside before heading back to the city.
Come with a friend — or make one along the way. Just show up ready to go concrete to countryside. We’ll handle the rest.
