See the cherry blossoms in Riverside Park.
Travelers who are heading to New York may want to practice some of the relaxation techniques learned in Dahn Yoga classes by visiting Riverside Park. The area features a four-mile-long path that stretches along the famous Hudson River called the Cherry Walk, which gets its name from a section of the trail peppered with beautiful cherry trees.
Not only is the Cherry Walk an official scenic landmark that provides a number of unforgettable panoramic views, it also has a fascinating background. According to New York City's Department of Parks and Recreation, "the rugged bluffs and rocky outcroppings once descended directly to the Hudson River shore and were densely wooded during the Native American habitation." In the 1840s, a railroad was built through the area and at the turn of the century, the cherry trees were added by the Committee of Japanese Residents of New York.
Walking through the park is a great way to see some wonderful views of the city, which will help relieve stress and contribute to a feeling of inner peace.
