Big Apple Bucket List - High Line, Little Island, Battery Park & Ferry!

Bask in the energy of the greatest city in the world, and catch up with downtown Manhattan's major outdoor scenes. This "fan-fav" urban hike includes all of the High Line Park, and the Westside Greenway south of Gansevoort Street, with stops along the way at ""the Vessel"" (exterior only), the Chelsea Market, ""Little Island"", and Battery Park, and a joy ride (free!) on the Staten Island Ferry as the grand finale. This hike is rated moderate because of mileage. Unforgettable views throughout the day, with plenty of fueling stations and restroom stops along the way. Optional early dinner after the event. Eat your wheaties to prepare for this one: you will be happily worn out! [Note: It's OK to bring a guest with you].
