Tips
- There are a couple different exits along the Palisades that you can access the park from
- If you are going to go on a trail make sure to warn her before
- Consult your Rav about possible yichud shailos on a trail
- The Ross Dock to Englewood Boat Basin trail is a very basic trail (more like a simple walk) along the Hudson (if you like the water it's scenic)
