For the past year youarethecity has been working with CLIMB (City Live is Moving Bodies) to enhance access and visibility of the beautiful parks in Upper Manhattan and the trail that connects them all -a path that leads you through some of the most beautiful moments where infrastructure meets nature, amazing views and lots of history from Central Park to the Cloisters. To make this all more visible and accessible, we created a map that is now printed and will be available at Hike the Heights – an annual hike along the path this Saturday June 7th -see below for start times. (I recommend the Northern half, so start at the RING Garden at Dyckman and Broadway, the A train takes you right there)
