Winter Photography Hike (light)

Sunday, December 27, 2015

1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m.

Urban Park Ranger hiking guides will introduce you to the hidden gems of New York City. On our hikes, you may explore nature, discover our city’s urban forests, or just unplug from the world to clear your head. Hiking programs feature intensity levels; light hikes are a leisurely stroll on mostly paved paths.  

Learn the basics of outdoor photography and practice your skills as you are guided past amazing views and natural wonders found in Astoria Park. Bring your own camera or smart phone.
