Hike Garrison, Anthony's Nose to Manitou
About the event
We'll hike from Garrison station to Manitou station through wooded forest, with views of the Hudson River from Anthony's Nose. You should be in GOOD AEROBIC CONDITION for this hike, it's around 11.5 - 12 MILES. There won't be any crazy rock climbs, but a good opportunity to log some miles without the crowds. There's lots of trains back to the city if you have plans for Saturday evening. Feel free to bring friends who aren't in the group.
TRAIN FROM NYC: We'll meet at the clock/information booth in the center of Grand Central at 8:30am. Buy your roundtrip ticket to Garrison (both Manitou & Garrison are in fare zone 7). We'll take the 8:56am Metro North train arriving at Garrison 10:12am. Return trains from Manitou are at 3:13, 3:32, 4:29 and 5:17pm.
