Singles sick of swiping are giving up apps — and looking for love on hiking trails: ‘Here at least people don’t ghost you’

Go take a hike might not be the first piece of advice you’d expect to hear if you’re single, but it might be the best antidote to endlessly swiping left and right.

After all, going on a nature walk with a bunch of fresh, air-friendly folks is a pretty wholesome way to meet people. At least that’s the thinking behind Swipe Right Thursday Nights, the Appalachian Mountain Club’s solution to app fatigue.

During the Aug. 7 debut hike, a dozen singles from the five boroughs took a phone-free, 1½-mile stroll in Battery Park along a scenic stretch of the Hudson River. (The next jaunt is Thursday, Sept. 4.)

Whether any true love connections were made remains to be seen, of course. But by the end of their hours together, a few numbers were swapped over drinks at Treadwell Park, a group-friendly beer hall in the neighborhood.

Elena Milan, 29, partnerships manager at mattress company Purple, said the hike was a welcome break from bouncing between dating apps, something she has done for the past decade.

“I’ve been through the ringer on all of them,” Milan, who lives in Brooklyn, told The Post. “I think the idea of meeting someone in real life, outside of a dating platform, is really appealing.”
