ROCKEFELLER PRESERVE WALK (Strenuous)

An 11.5-mile, moderate-paced walk through Rockefeller State Park Preserve, beginning and ending at the Tarrytown train station. We will return to Tarrytown in time for the Tarrytown Halloween parade for those interested, those not interested can return directly to the train station. You can RSVP here on Meetup but you must register on the AMC website and complete the required online waiver in order to attend the hike.

Meet on the river side of the Tarrytown train station by the tennis courts. I will be wearing a green AMC cap. The start time of 10:45 is just after the 9:53 train arrives in Tarrytown, the end time of 4:45 is when I think we will arrive near the beginning of the parade, the train station is a 20-minute walk from there. There are trains to Grand Central at 5:04, 5:18, 5:46, here's the train schedule Hudson Line train schedule Do not drive to Tarrytown, there will be no parking, park somewhere else and take the train. From the train station we walk north on the Riverwalk along the Hudson River to Kingsland Park, then east on steep streets to Gory Brook Road, then counterclockwise through Rockefeller Preserve, including Stone Barns, the visitor center and the location of the hut of Hulda, the Bohemian "witch", and take the Old Croton Aqueduct trail to North Broadway in front of the high school near the beginning of the Halloween parade. If you don't want to view the parade, I will give simple directions to return to the train station by by streets away from the parade. Here's the parade…
