From the Alpine parking area along the top to the State Line (NY/NJ) Boundary Marker; down steeply to the bottom of Peanut Falls; along the shore of the Hudson River over the rocks of Giant's Staircase -- sometimes just a few feet above the water -- sometimes up on the steep slope; back to the top up the steep path with its stairs; and finally the castle-like monument to the Federation of Woman's Clubs.  A relatively short but interesting trip only 10 miles north of NYC.

The Palidades are on the west
side of the Hudson River from
just below the George Washington
Bridge to above the NY/NJ
border.  We hiked the northern
section starting just south of the
NY/NJ line, going north along the
top, down to the bottom by
Peanut Falls, then south along the
rocky shore into NJ before returning
to the top and our car.
