Although it’s been raining lately, this spring has brought some warm sunny days!  One way to escape the city is by using Cartoo’s Escape Tool.  Once you’ve found your escape area check out these three great hikes under 2 hours away from New York! What better way to enjoy the sun then by escaping the city and going for a hike!

1.  Head North!- Bear Mountain, outside Yonkers, allows for a relaxing hike through the mountains!  Enjoy beautiful views of the valley as you summit to the peak.
