It is time again for our annual Holiday New York City hike!
This time, we will be meeting in NY Penn Station as usual, but our route will be in northern Manhattan.
Meeting will be in the large round area where there is always a large Christmas tree on display. There's also a GNC and I think a Hudson News. One of the bigger open areas in the mall section.
Everyone should get whatever bathroom stop out of the way as soon as you arrive. We don't want to be spending an hour in Penn Station waiting on everyone!
We will take the subway north from our meeting point to the 145th St stop.
From here, we'll walk the trail that parallels Riverside Drive a bit to the north, and then cut to the east through a cemetery for several blocks.
We will cross through two more small parks before reaching Coogan's Bluff where we get on the historic Old Croton Aqueduct.
We'll continue through Highbridge Park after the Croton Aqueduct crosses, and make our way north through Highbridge Park on many different trails. We will pretty much be on trail until we get to a section of 10th avenue we must walk to reach the northern end of Manhattan. We then head west and into Inwood Hills Park, and turn to the south either on waterfront or through Fort Tryon Park to eventually close a planned fifteen mile loop.
