I would have loved to have spotted lynx or fox or black bear. But it was mostly squirrels, dogs and people. This park, if you haven't been, is quite something. It's at the northern tip of Manhattan, the only original forest on the island and it's a mountain of a place. This is where the Harlem River meets the majestic Hudson. Across the rail bridge is The Bronx. That's the Amtrak line to Montreal. The Palisades on the other side of the Hudson River, that's the eastern edge of New Jersey.
Why do I post this? Because I like nature, okay? Okay. Fabulous that this huge park exists.

I saw a wild turkey (the bird, not the booze) up there once. You would never know you are near the a major metropolis inside that park.
Allegedly the tulip tree near the Columbia crew dock up there is the one in this picture http://www.askart.com/AskART/photos/SHA20061026_3501/206.jpg of the dutch buying manhattan. Probably not true, but it is nice to think it is.
I hear there are wild turkeys there! Nice cheesey tulip tree pic---thanks. Apparently, this part of the world is filled with tulip trees.
Always a great hike... Especially when it's cold!
