Scenic Rock Outcropping

This is THE best spot in NYC to go scream at the top of your lungs on top of a cliff. The constant highway sound will mostly drown it out. Only freaked out a few hikers. Got me through 2020.

Also: there are cacti.

Even better in the summer. Very lush view.

Mild walk with a beautiful view.

Nice flat area with a few rocks that serve well as picnic benches overlooking the Henry Hudson Parkway below. The only issue is the traffic from the highway below is quite noisy making this not a very suitable area to relax. It's a quick stop and go destination.

From the NYC Park website: [near the Cross Country Course Orange Trail], "this rocky outcropping of mainly Fordham Gneiss [metamorphic rock] overlooks the lowland portion of the Northwest Forest and its giant red oak and tulip poplar trees." There are cactus plants growing there among the rock. I don't like that this spot was added to Google Maps, because I didn't want to have to share it with other folks. (There's plenty of garbage there already!)

مكان رائع 👏
