Climb Highbridge Water Tower, Walk Highbridge and Visit The Cloisters!

Be adventurous! Today we cross Highbridge - the bridge linking Manhattan and the Bronx. (Take the A,C or 1 train to 168th St. We'll meet outside the Starbucks at 168th and Broadway at 10:30 AM.) Before we cross we are in for a special treat. The Urban Park Rangers will give us a free tour inside the Highbridge Water Tower. We'll be able to climb the 200 foot tower. Enjoy the panoramic views free of charge! Here is the link: https://www.nycgovparks.org/events/2025/06/14/historic-new-york-the-highbridge-water-tower
