Northern Manhattan

Walking along the water

Today we took our final research trip to learn about the geography of Manhattan.  We have previously gone to the East River, the Hudson River, and the harbor at the southern tip of Manhattan.  Today we went to the northern-most point of Manhattan to see the Hudson River connect to the Harlem River.  It was a beautiful day and we saw lots of new sights to add to our class map.  We even saw 8 bridges on our way there!

The weather was beautiful as we hiked upwards in Inwood Park to see the water, the bridges, and the Bronx.  We should have our class map finalized by the end of the week after we finish compiling all of our observations from the past month.  Stay tuned for that!
