MANITOGA Guided Landscape Hike: View Spots to the Hudson
To view all of Manitoga's tour offerings, visit our BrownPaperTickets profile.
Take a 1-1/2 hr. / 1.5 mile hike of Manitoga's woodland trails created by midcentury industrial designer Russel Wright on the site of an abandoned granite quarry in Garrison NY. This moderate hike will feature 4 signature "view spots" and will be led by Manitoga Landscape Site Educator Kate Brittenham. Wright called these framed views 'osios' from native Algonquin and intended them as dramatic moments within the landscape. You will visit Boulder Osio, Mossy Overlook, Lost Pond Osio and Chestnut Oak Osio with framed views of the Bear Mountain Bridge, West Point, Storm King Mountain and the Hudson River north to Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.
The 1.25 mile hike to Manitoga's highest point and return is moderate to intermediate with some steep terrain. Please wear appropriate walking shoes, dress for weather and carry water.
Meet at Manitoga's Visitor/Guide House next to the parking lot located at 584 Route 9D in Garrison, NY. You will be welcomed just before the tour begins. No pets please.
This guided hike does not include a tour of the House & Studio.
Kate Brittenham's experience as a New England Wildflower Society Horticultural and Propagation intern, as well as a student of New York Botanical Garden's Landscape Design Program lends special insights to this tour.
