About this Event
Dear North American mammals, it's time to come back to Franny Reese!
This is the easiest hike of our group.
We will enjoy the view of the Hudson river from the longest walkway bridge on the way back.
The event will be followed by a well-deserved feast of chicken wings or Italian pasta at a nearby tavern.
This is not a loop walk!
