Fall Palisades Hike

Take the Great Saunter Fall Challenge. [Register here](https://shorewalkers.org/join-a-saunter/) to walk 32 miles over 16 days, starting Oct. 3. Help Shorewalkers support our parks by donating $10 to participate, with all fees going to [Riverside Park Conservancy](https://riversideparknyc.org/) This walk will count for 20 miles of your total. Join us for a 20 mile hike stretching from upper Manhattan to the town of Nyack in Rockland County. We will start by crossing the GWB and then will follow the Long Path trail heading north along the palisades. On our walk we’ll see beautiful wooded paths and stunning views of the Hudson River. This will be a moderately paced hike with minimal breaks, as we’ll need to keep on a tight schedule to finish on time. While the path is mainly flat, you should expect rocky trails, stairs and a few steep hills. Hiking shoes are required and poles are strongly recommended. There are no dropout points where public transportation is easily accessible on this hike so consider your ability to complete 20 miles before signing up. Previous hiking experience is necessary. Meet at 8:00 at the GWB Bus Terminal in the waiting room on the upper level. We will leave promptly at 8:15. Do not come late because we cannot wait. Our hike ends in Nyack where you can take the H07 bus to Tarrytown and catch the Metro North back to the city. There is also the option of taking a Coach bus back to the GWB bus terminal. Please check transportation schedules ahead of time.
