Whether I am training to 190th at 7:45am on a sunny Sunday or knee deep in snow blazing a trail in the woods during a blizzard...each hike, for me, is as much about exploring and enjoying nature as it is uncovering, learning and experiencing new terrains.
I approach each of my hikes with equal amounts of curiosity, nervousness and excitement and finish them feeling great senses of peace, appreciation and accomplishment.
The Cloisters

A Train from 59th up to 190th Street. Take the elevator up, pop outside and off you go.
3.5 miles
No poles
Some inclines and stairs
Not tons of people, but a few...
"The intense" trail map...more people on the west side of park...
