About Take a Hike

I’m Juan Melli, a hiker, backpacker, and fine art photographer based in Hoboken. Friends used to ask me where to hike, so I started Take a Hike to share the trails I know best, with the practical details that make a good day out easier: where to park, which way to go, and what makes each hike worth the trip.
