Bottom to Tippy Top: Length of Manhattan Walk

​An urban hike beginning in Battery Park, heading north 17 miles all the way to Inwood Hill Park. This route connects, in my opinion, the most scenic way to cross the length of Manhattan.

​Along the way, we’ll stop briefly 2x for coffee and snacks - but I encourage you to bring water, electrolytes, and a packed lunch as well.

​We'll be starting early to avoid some of the heat. Yes it's an ambitious early start on a Saturday...but so is walking 17 miles :) As a bonus, lower Manhattan is at its best when not jam-packed with people.

​📍 Start: Battery Park | End: Inwood Hill Park | Route Map HERE

​☕ Midway stops: TBD

​Note this is a walk at "New York pedestrian pace." We'll walk briskly to complete this route in ~6 hours total, including two planned breaks. All are welcome, but if you'd like a slower stroll, have the route on hand to self-navigate.

​Come ready to walk, chat, and take in the beauty of ALL of Manhattan...which not enough people have seen!
