Bottom to Tippy Top: Length of Manhattan Walk
An urban hike beginning in Battery Park, heading north 19 miles all the way to Inwood Hill Park. This route connects, in my opinion, the most scenic way to cross the entire 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.
We'll be starting early to avoid some of the crowds. Yes it's an ambitious early start on a Saturday...but so is walking 19 miles :) As a bonus, lower Manhattan is at its best when not jam-packed with people.
Start: (near) Battery Park--register to see exact location.
End: Inwood Hill Park
Route Map: included in your ticket cost--100% discount code to be provided week-of.
Note this is a walk at "New York pedestrian pace." We'll walk briskly to complete this route in ~7 hours total, including two planned breaks. All are welcome, but if you'd like a slower stroll, expect to find a smaller pace pod and 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!
