4 Ciders, 4 Parks, 4+ Miles, 4+ Hours

Spend a fall afternoon uptown, sipping cider and strolling through parks and gardens in Washington Heights and Inwood.

MEETING TIME: 12pm. Walk starts promptly at 12:15.

MEETING LOCATION: Broadway and 165th Street, NE corner. Subway: A, C, 1 to 168th St.

DISTANCE: Approx 4+ miles.
PACE: Moderate walking pace.
TERRAIN: There are hills throughout the route and some stairs. Some park paths might be uneven.

BRING: Bring water and easy-to-eat snacks for the walk between taverns.

Special Note: This walk is part of Shorewalkers’ Suggest-A-Walk, a program for our members to create a walking route.

A big thank you to the two of them for presenting this fun walk to us!
