URBAN WALK: Roosevelt Island Spooky Stroll for Families - New Members Welcome!
Details
The Spooky Side of Nature
New to the Appalachian Mountain Club? Looking to connect with other folks who love getting outdoors? Come meet new AMC friends on a walk around Roosevelt Island!
Explore the mysteries and history of the island. We will walk at a leisurely pace for up to 2 hours on pavement for about 2 miles with a mere 42 feet elevation gain. We will be stopping at points of interest along the way. We will be stopping at the historic smallpox Hospital, a cat sanctuary, and pretty views of the NYC skyline.
Wear sturdy walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a Halloween costume (optional). Bring 1 liter of water and snacks.
If you are new to the AMC, this is a great starter event! New and existing members, as well as prospective members, are welcome!! This is a great event for kids, especially since there will still be time after the walk for trick-or-treating!
Meet: 1:00 PM at Duane Reade/Walgreens entrance outside the Roosevelt Island Subway Station on Roosevelt Island. Take the F train to the Roosevelt Island Station. Or, take the Roosevelt Island Tram and walk north 2 blocks to the subway station.
