Hike: Giant Stairs Along the Hudson September 11, 2011

http://www.njyp.org/events/hike-giant-stairs-along-the-hu

Join us as we take on one of the most challenging and beautiful hikes along the Hudson River! “This loop hike descends the Palisades cliffs, follows a challenging, rocky path along the Hudson River, passes a scenic waterfall, and climbs to reach a panoramic viewpoint over the river.” You will certainly earn the majestic views taken in as well as the post-hike lunch the group traditionally hits up.

In honor of the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 the group will stop for a moment of silence during this hike.
