A tunnel which takes the West Side Highway path under the road and up a hill, to where it flows into the promenade of Riverside Park. This is about a quarter mile north of the 79th Street boat basin.



A Civil War memorial off Riverside Drive, seen from the rocks at the top of the running path at 91st Street. This is where I usually turn around, if I'm doing a ten mile run.



Claremont Riding Academy, on 89th Street off Riverside Drive. The club is near the bridle paths of Central Park. From the sidewalk outside it smelled pleasantly of horse manure, hay, and animals.



A ramp and hay elevator in the club, for taking silage to all the levels of the stables.


Looking up the shaftway of the hay elevator. I assume that it's just for hay; I have no idea if it's sturdy enough to take horses up and down. I very much doubt it, considering the elevator lines are rope rather than steel cable.



The running path around the reservoir in Central Park. The circumference is about one and a half miles.



This is Alberto Arroyo, the Mayor of Central Park. He played a large part in establishing the running culture in the Park, and in particular the establishment of the path around the reservoir.

West Side Highway Run

Here is an album with the rest of the photos, about 80 in all.
