Grant's Tomb

Grant's Tomb

~ 6.17.2009

Yesterday I went for a walk around the neighborhood. I ended up walking to Grant's Tomb and Riverside park and taking a lot pictures. I'm not afraid to hop over a fence so I was able to get to the top of the actual "tomb" and get close up. While hopping fences (lol), I found a dirt trail that looked really nice, so I climbed down this a ledge and just saw this place that looked completely untouched by nature. Of course this is New York City so I knew that wasn't the case, so I continued what would be considered a hike at this point until 109th St where I reached the secluded entrance of that woodsy area. The whole trail I thought I discovered was a the Riverside Park Bird Sanctuary. I heard birds but didn't see any. I'm going back with some binoculars next time, I didn't take any pictures of the actual sanctuary. Next time.
