West Point is on the west side of the Hudson about 45 miles north of La Guardia. Distance is about 10 miles. As soon as getting off the bridge, follow signs for and take the Palisades Parkway North, about 35 miles. Stay in the right lane after 30 miles and follow signs for the Bear Mountain Bridge. At the Bear Mountain Traffic Circle, make a 270 degree sweep and take 9W north for about 3 miles.
Cadets can get together and call a limo service.
These services work well when several cadets are trying to make a flight and cannot use scheduled bus service. They can find others needing transportation by accessing their electronic bulletin board. Limo services are listed in a file available for download. The dock facilities at West Point itself are rather limited. Overnight tie up to the steel pier is possible as is use of the Federal Anchorage.
