One of my favorite little hikes in NYC! It doesn’t feel like a city park at all—it feels like you’re surrounded by nature. It’s rich in history, offers amazing views, and has a beautiful flower garden, a fantastic museum, and a great restaurant all in one place. Plus, there are two excellent playgrounds, making it perfect for families as well.

I got ghosted by the dude I literally was supposed to go on a date with on Friday. Oh well, anyways I didn’t want to workout today. I wanted to cry and feel sorry for myself, but instead I walked my pain away and just took an unknown route. I ended up in Fort Tryon Park.

The flowers there were absolutely gorgeous. The hiking trail felt magical as I got a gorgeous view of Upper Manhattan’s Skyline.

This park is absolutely a hidden gem. It’s a 16 minute walk from Inwood Hill Park. I’m just glad I didn’t stay at home and miss out on this beauty.

I absolutely love Fort Tryon Park! The park is super clean and well cared for! There’s lots of wonderful things to see on this park. During the summer and fall the flowers are absolutely stunning! There are beautiful pine trees all over this park. Large boulders are all over as well and are amazing to look at. The Cloisters are fantastic… consisting of a great museum, gardens and chapels…. This is an all day experience. The view of the Hudson River and GWB are grandiose! This is one of those places that you just have to see! There are fantastic trails to follow in this park!

My favorite park in New York City. The topography,;which is built on 450 million year old Manhattan schist, is outstanding in its multilevel depths. Some of the the rock formations you walk by sparkle and shine, and the elevation gain of almost 300 feet. There are multiple trails going up and down between the levels, all paved for easy access. The most beautiful garden in the world, Heather Gardens, can be found at the south upper level near the entrance. It is spring now, and some flowers are blooming, trees are budding. I feel so lucky to love nearby.

Upper Manhattan gem that feels like a world away. The Heather Garden is gorgeous—actually cared for, not just random flowers. Views of the Hudson and Palisades are insane, especially from Linden Terrace. The Cloisters at the north end is worth poking into even if you don't go in. Trails wind through real woods, feels more like upstate than the city. Free parking, which is wild. Some paths are steep, wear decent shoes. Quiet, peaceful, totally worth the trip up.
