Visual Guided Tours of New York City

On the greenway along the Hudson River on Manhattan's west side. The park that runs along the Hudson River is called Fort Washington Park in this area.

Washington Heights extends from 151st (or 155th, depending on the map) to 179th. 179th is Highway I 95 and the George Washington Bridge. Situated between Harlem and Fort George, Washington Heights is home to what was formerly known as the Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital, now called New York-Presbyterian--The University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell, which covers a large area centered around 168th on the west side.

We're coming to a promontory with picnic tables. NJ Palisades are across the river.

The little red lighthouse is beneath the George Washington Bridge. I've seen it in a couple of movies, one featuring Meg Ryan.

We've climbed one of two steep hills and will go to Riverside Drive soon. We just passed under the George Washington Bridge, so we are actually in Fort George now, but we'll begin that tour when we reach the drive.

We'll cross under the Henry Hudson Parkway and go up another level to Riverside Drive, where you can take the Fort George Tour (if you are going around Manhattan's perimeter) or stay in Washington Heights.
