They just opened up the new pedestrian walkway over the George Washington Bridge and it offers stunning views of the NYC skyline and the Palisades Cliffs that will be just starting to change colors for the fall! The GW is the world’s busiest motor vehicle bridge carrying over 103 million cars and trucks each year.  It was completed in 1931 and connects Manhattan’s Washington Heights to Ft Lee, NJ. The group will stop on the Jersey side in Ft Lee Historic Park to eat lunch overlooking the river and NYC.

What to expect:

  • The group will meet at the George Washington Bridge bus station at 11am.
  • We will walk across the bridge (bridge is just under 1 mile).
  • On the Jersey side we will walk to Palisades Ft Lee Historic Park to enjoy lunch overlooking the river (bring your own).
  • Along the way your host will pass along some fun facts about the bridge, river and Ft Lee Park.
  • After lunch we will walk back to Manhattan.  For those wishing to explore more we will walk down to The Little Red Lighthouse under the bridge made famous in the children’s book The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Grey Bridge.

The main part of the walk/hike is fairly flat and all on pavement.  If you wish to go down to the lighthouse there are several flights of stairs to go down.

What to bring:

  • Bag lunch and beverage
  • Comfortable shoes

Cost: $15 General Members / $10 VIP members (includes tour only)
