Cloisters Museum, garden, park, and woods

NOTE: There will be some moderate hill climbing. To attend you should be able to comfortably climb about four flights of stairs

Let’s visit the Cloisters--a big castle in northern Manhattan housing a renowned collection of medieval art and architecture—plus adjacent Fort Tryon Park, with a large flower and herb garden, and Inwood Hill Park, with one of the two last original forests in NYC, towering cliffs above us, and native American caves. We’ll start by touring Fort Tryon Park; then we'll have lunch (bring your own) at around 2 PM in a lovely spot overlooking the Hudson. We’ll visit the museum after lunch then explore the breathtaking scenery of Inwood Hill Park.
