All are welcome. Just let me know you’re coming and be on time. In the event of inclement weather, this walk will be rescheduled.

Join me on a return visit to the Joker Stairs, 132 steps up, which I climbed in October 2020 and October 2021; to the High Bridge, which I’ve visited a few times, and to Highbridge Park in Manhattan. We’ll swing by the historic Morris-Jumel Mansion before having lunch in Washington Heights. Several previous posts on this site describe these walks, and the post about the October 2021 walk has a short video.

NOTE: Due to planned structural work there will be no D train service north of 161 Street - Yankee Stadium. Plan your trip accordingly.
