What To Expect

George Washington Bridge

We shall walk the length of the most heavily trafficked bridge in the world, and learn its history and marvel at the views.

Palisades Interstate Park

After crossing the George Washington Bridge, we will enter the Park at the head of the Long Trail. We shall walk along this wooded trail, viewing the Hudson River at many dramatic points, and learn its fascinating history.

Greenbrook Sanctuary

This sanctuary is actually in Tenafly, but for us it's the end of our walk along the Palisades. It's a special preserve, and we shall hear a bit of its history as we pass by it.

Tenafly Nature Center

Once we leave the entrance of the Greenbrook Sanctuary, we shall cross over Route 9W and proceed up to the first left turn and walk into the woods - and the Tenafly Nature Center, and hear about how this preserve had its beginnings.

Tenafly

After the Nature Center, we shall walk into the East Hill of Tenafly, and down this hill into the Highwood Park Historic District. We shall see many charming homes, including the home of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. We lunch at the Classic Diner in downtown Tenafly.

Guttenberg

On our way back from the Classic Diner and our lunch, we shall take a bus that travels along the top of the Palisades in Guttenberg, NJ, giving us a great view of Manhattan before taking us through the Lincoln Tunnel to the Port Authority Bus Terminal
