You don’t technically have to leave the city to find a scenic hiking spot—simply take the 1 train to the end of the line, hop out near Van Cortlandt Park, and find the trail you want to take. There are a few within the park: The Putnam Trail is a 1.5-mile loop that’s billed as “the perfect place to begin hiking” at Van Cortlandt, according to the Friends of Van Cortlandt Park, thanks to its relatively easy terrain. Those in search of a bigger challenge can try the 1.5-mile John Muir Trail, which traverses the park from east to west and covers some relatively steep terrain.
