About Me

Juan Melli

I hope this site inspires more people to get outside and enjoy and respect nature.

I live in Hoboken, NJ and like to explore trails in NJ and NY within a short drive. There's so much hidden beauty and surprisingly rugged wilderness even in the most urbanized region of the country.

I'm a weekend warrior but also try to plan longer backpacking trips out west each year. I'm NOLS certified in Wilderness First Aid and a volunteer trail maintainer with the NY-NJ Trail Conference.

If this is your first visit, a good place to start are the Top Hikes or if you plan to bring inexperienced little ones, the Kid Friendly hikes.
