From Harlem 125th Street we will take the #4 subway to 170th Street and Jerome Avenue in the Bronx to begin our walk. We will head west to walk over the High Bridge to Manhattan to the George Washington Bridge and over to New Jersey and Fort Lee Historic Park. After spending a few minutes admiring the views from the Palisades, we will take a bus back to Manhattan and lunch "In The Heights." After lunch, the walk continues down Riverside Drive towards 125th Street. The entire walk is six miles; four miles before lunch and two miles after lunch.
