This entire stretch of the AT is can be access from 42nd Street. There is a bus to the PA/NJ from Port Authority and a train to the Appalachian Trial station (NY/CT) border from Grand Central.

In between there will be any number of NJ Transit buses and trains to North Jersey but you'd probably have to use a ride hailing app or taxi to get out of the suburb in question. There's nothing monolithic to be had, but Bear Mountain is a nice gateway to the Catskills. There are some urban "day hikes" around that are charming is a gritty sort of way:

Bay Ridge down to under the Verrazano then around to Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst - if you get tired you can grab a bus down to Brighton Beach for some Russian food in the late afternoon.

In Manhattan, the Hudson river park above 125th goes under the GWB and then either across to the Palisades or up to the Cloisters.

I've done Chinatown-Downtown Brooklyn and WTC-Downtown Brooklyn several times each.

Riis beach and Neponsit out on the Rockaway peninsula are pretty cool too. It's hard to believe you can be that remote and still in NYC proper. You can get out there on foot if from as far West as Coney Island via a footpath around to Floyd Bennet Field and then over a bridge. Eventually you'll get to the end of the A train.

The sharp right-hand bend near the NJ/NY border is Port Jervis which is accessible at the end of a the West-of-Hudson train line at Penn Station.

You can also get near Lake Placid, VT and NH on Amtrak if you are taking a long weekend or something. ...at least until Dear Leader zeros out their operating subsidy as promised. Dartmouth College is in Hanover, NH so there are probably buses to that transit station too.

Los Angeles here.

I'm fucking miserable.

OP here, wew lad never imagined I'd be getting actual protips. I appreciate it, m8. I've done most of the 'urban' hikes just by lieu of walking a lot, but I'll take your other advice down. Thanks.

My truck broke down on I95 when I was hauling equipment to long island. I ended up stuck in the bronx for 3 days, and met a few people that said they had never been out of the city. Is that shit common? Blew my mind.

Dude, you live only a few hours away from the Adirondacks

Los Angeles here too.

There's a ton of great hiking around here (and no Griffith Park does not count). Just drive up highway 2 into the Angeles national forest and you'll see a bunch of great scenery and hikes. I recommend Josephine peak via Colby Canyon (trailhead is just off the highway).

I can't say I have a clue about the East Coast proper, I moved here last month. Nice to hear.

I'd say there's a huge gulf between enjoying your career and enjoying your outdoor time. I may enjoy my working hours, it's not having that good /out/fix in a while that's been killing me.

I picked Vancouver over Toronto for grad school for this exact reason, even though the opportunities given to me at Toronto were far better. Your anguish validates my decision thanks anon, just get out there bud
