We'll explore northern Manhattan by hiking along the three waterways:
the Hudson River, Spuyten Duyvil Creek (now a canal) and the Harlem
River, ending at the Morris-Jumel Mansion, a National Historic Landmark.
You may also take an hour-long tour of the mansion for a reasonable
entry fee. This is a 7.5 miles hike on mostly level ground and therefore
very easy. We will meet at 86 Street and Central Park West at 9:45 am
