Yesterday's hike didn't cover any new territory, but I went places I hadn't been in a while, even on my previous trip to Randalls Island.
After walking across Manhattan and over the pedestrian bridge, I headed north up the west side of the island. This took me up a gravel path with views of Manhattan to the salt marsh. There is a small bridge here and a wetland. After this, I continued on to a good view of the Triborough bridge East River span.
The north part of the island is mostly athletic fields. I followed along the edge of the Bronx Kill, a small creek separating Randalls Island (which is legally part of Manhattan) from the Bronx. The path crosses under the Triborough Bronx Kill span and then under the Amtrak railway bridge. Under this is a tiny pedestrian bridge to the Bronx. While I'd been here before, I didn't have any good photos of it.
I returned to the RFK and walked up the pedestrian crossing to the Bronx, then back to the island. From there, I essentially retraced my steps the rest of the way.
