On the Rocks

http://www.urbanescapesnyc.com/index.php/trips/detail/on_the_rocks/427 We just love combining fun events, so hereÂÂ's our latest creation. After an exhilarating morning of scrambling on the rocks, weÂÂ'll enjoy the other ÂÂ'on the rocksÂÂ' by spending the afternoon at a local whiskey distillery, sampling from seven different types of whiskeys and vodkas. This is an exciting day and certainly not for the faint of heart. The hike will climb over 1000 vertical feet in just a few miles and will reward you with some of the most stunning views around. After an alfresco lunch atop a beautiful mountain, weÂÂ'll head down into town where weÂÂ'll enjoy a private tour of a local distillery and youÂÂ'll get to sample a few of the seven artisanal whiskeys and vodkas produced.
