Geocache Description:

A slice of tranquil Old New York in the midst of bustling city

There are paths that will lead you directly to this cache, but just as many will lead you away from it. An old wealthy family in NYC felt it important to memorialize The Garden of Eden. Hours of entry: 8am-6pm.
 
The terrain is flat and there are stone paths. Your biggest obstacle will likely be all the other people milling about and getting in your way. Once you reach the hiding spot, there is a small controlled climb up. You are searching for a mini-cache. There won't be anything for you to take, so you don't need to worry about leaving anything, but the location where you will find it will open your eyes to great beauty and much history.
