We took the subway to the ferry to a bus - a rather long bus ride - to Great Kills Park, on the southeastern shore of Staten Island. A short jaunt there took us to a sandy beach, something I had no idea Staten Island possessed.
From there, we walked to the Willowbrook Parkway, named for an intended-but-never-built highway. Instead, it's a narrow hiking path in a woods about a block wide. The trail is not perfectly flat here, but calling the elevation changes "hills" is a bit of exaggeration.
From there, we entered the State Island Greenbelt, which has a hill or two, before reaching the Latourette Golf Course and stopping for lunch. We continued on to St. Andrew's Church.
The "almost" in the title is because I dropped out of the hike early, about 9-10 miles in, right after lunch. The main group continued further along the greenbelt for 14 miles.
