Post Thanksgiving Hike (Burn Off The Bird)

Need a break from the Black Friday madness, family overload, or Friendsgiving food coma? Join us for a Post-Thanksgiving escape designed for anyone craving fresh air, good vibes, and some space to reset. This hike is a perfect way to burn off the bird and decompress in the beautiful Sourland Mountains.

We’ll trek through scenic, forested trails that lead to breathtaking ridge views and hidden waterfalls, giving you a nature fix and a chance to recharge away from the crowds. Mid-hike, we’ll stop for a snack (bring your favorite leftovers if you dare), then wrap it up with a local food and drink stop before heading back.

Bring your best outdoor layers, a few friends (or just yourself), and get ready to refresh with an adventurous crew of like-minded, city-bound explorers. It’s the perfect remedy for too much stuffing and too many social obligations.
