Start at 59th St. and the Hudson river. Proceed North along the river until you get to about 85th street where you must go under the highway and up into Riverside Park. Return back to the river by taking the underpass around 93rd street. The path ends around 125th Street (about 3.25 miles). Proceed under Riverside Drive and the Westside Highway until you get to a point where you make a left and then a quick right into a guarded parking lot for a sanitation department building. Proceed behind the building for about 1/2 mile until you reach the entrance to the Northern section of Riverside Park (around 140th St.). Keep on going North on the paved path until the path turns uphil under the GWB. Now the path will be next to the Westside Highway on top of the Pallisades. Keep on going North until the path ends at Dyckman St. (7.5 miles). Turn around and return to 59th St. for a 15 mile run.
Go west on 59th St. to the river to the starting point.
