Head into the Palisades Interstate Park and crossing into Burdetts Landing, that will take us onto the Shore Trail. We will take this up to the Englewood Boat Basin area and we will head back towards the Ross Dock Picnic area, climb up the Carpenter’s trail, which boasts elevation gain: hikers’ GPS recordings show roughly 380–390 feet of cumulative climbing, which aligns closely with the official 320-foot cliff ascent/descent.
