About this Event
We'll hike through this scenic landmark; Riverside Park, designed in 1875 by Olmstead and Vaux. We'll descend the terraced landscape to the promenade along the Hudson River. We'll also explore some natural trails through fall foliage, inlcuding maple trees that should be peaking in fall color.
We'll hike for about 30 minutes then pause for a 5 minute meditative breathing exercise, journal for 20 (writing, notating, or sketching the natural surroundings), and then hike back out.
