Walk Along The Hudson River + High Line

WEATHER UPDATE: Saturday's event time temperature will be steady in the lower 70s, with sunny skies.
This is a past recurring event from Marcos's meetups: the Hudson River Park/High Line loop walk.
Our route will begin by walking west along 34th Street, passing by Javits Center, and entering the park at 12th Avenue; from there we'll walk straight along the Hudson River Greenway, traversing past Little Island until we reach the Gansevoort Peninsula where we will stop to rest for about 15 minutes. Afterwards, we will circle back via the High Line to 34th Street, where our journey will end.
