Event Description

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.

Due to rain this hike has been moved to June 15th.

Hey Carline, I will make a determination based on the forecast soon.  The weather the day before (Friday) will really be the main factor.  If the rocks don't get a chance to dry, the hike tends to be a bit slippery (which I would want the group to avoid).

David - I would like to do this hike, but It looks like rain is in the forecast for Saturday.  Are you planning on rescheduling?
