15 miles of hiking • 500' elevation gain •
Extreme urban hiking. I explored the canyons of Midtown, the rolling hills and meadows of Brooklyn's Prospect Park, and the vast wildness of Central Park. The best stretch was the Highline, in Chelsea's Meatpacking District. This is an incredible piece of public infrastructure! I've seen photos and presentations about it, but the attention to design detail and the landscaping is phenomenal! Put it on your "must see" list if you find yourself in NYC.
