We will explore the highlights and hidden gems of the northern end of Central Park. Starting from Central Park West at 103rd Street, we will visit The Pool, follow the Loch through the Glen Span Arch, visit the marvelous Huddlestone Arch, and then walk north through the thickly forested Ravine, stopping by the Blockhouse, the oldest structure in the park. From there we will walk around the recently restored Harlem Meer, then south to the Conservatory Garden on Fifth Avenue, before returning to our starting point.
