Nestled at the southern tip of the Hudson Valley just 25 miles north of New York City, we might just be the closest village to the big city with our very own mountain. Nyack is home to countless trailheads including the Long Path—an ever-growing 100-year-old trail beginning at 175th street in Manhattan and snaking its way north 358 miles through New York State.

My Long Path began in camping stores that my father opened in 1974 in NYC. Some of my earliest memories are burrowing in sleeping bags and learning how to use the enormous cash registers at Kreeger & Sons.

Many years later, now with three sons of my own and thousands of local hiking miles under my belt, I decided it was time for Nyack to get its due as the little mountain town that it is. Through Long Path Outfitters, I’m selecting and sharing what I know to be only the most useful gear, apparel, and goodies to support others on their journey.
