Listed above are most of the hiking areas and trails mentioned in the book. We’ve assigned a value to each trail based on length. There are 91 “regular” hikes, and 18 shorter ones with “a” and “b” designations which are each equal to half a hike. Where more than one area is shown next to a number (for example, 94b lists East Irvington Nature Preserve and Halsey Pond), all areas listed must be hiked to qualify. This revised list tracks changes made in the book’s newly released second edition: if an area was moved from one category to another in the new edition, it also appears under the new heading in our list, which is why some hike numbers are out of sequence. Because the second edition adds new places to hike and eliminates others, and one location is currently inaccessible (PepsiCo Sculpture Garden is being renovated and will not reopen until 2015), we’ve modified our original list to give you alternatives to some of the hikes. Select whichever alternate you prefer - you will receive credit for hiking either of the listed alternatives. Keep a record of the date and place of each of your hikes. Send us the list when you complete a total of 50 hikes, and you’ll receive a certificate for your efforts; complete all 100 and you’ll get a patch to proudly display on your pack..
