A led walk following the Great Saunter route in reverse from Harlem around northern Manhattan, with a lunch break in Inwood Hill Park and an endpoint at 145th Street and Broadway.
Walk approximately 11 miles around northern Manhattan at a moderate pace over about five hours, with drop-out points along the route, in a listing from a members-only group.
Over three consecutive days, Tuesday through Thursday, we'll walk the iconic 32-mile Great Saunter path in reverse (counterclockwise), circumnavigating Manhattan Island up the East Side and down the West Side. This is Stretch #2 of the series, approximately 11 miles and about 5 hours at a moderate pace. Because we are walking the route in reverse order, the next and final walk will be Stretch #1 on Thursday, October 15. On Wednesday, we begin at 125th Street and Park Avenue and walk around the northern tip of Manhattan to the West Side. Join us for all or part of the walk; there will be drop-out points throughout the route. Meet inside the Harlem-125th Street Metro-North station (125th Street and Park Avenue) at 10:00 a.m. for a prompt 10:15 a.m. departure. We'll walk along the Harlem River to Inwood Hill Park, where we will break for lunch (restrooms will be available) before heading south to the Little Red Lighthouse, then through Fort Washington Park to Riverbank State Park. The walk ends at W. 145th Street and Broadway, at the #1 train subway station.
