What do the Palisades look like? "Palisade" originally meant a fence of stakes or wall of logs set in the ground, usually to surround and protect a settlement. Obviously early explorers or settlers believed that the tall columns of rock along the river looked like palisades and gave them that name, TRAILS: The Palisades Historic Trails are made up of portions of the Long Path, on top of the cliffs, and the Shore Trail, under the cliffs by the Hudson River. Both stretch between Fort Lee Historic Park and Northern New Jersey Council's Camp Alpine, Alpine, NJ. They are connected at the south and north ends by other trails. The Long Path (Fort Lee - Camp Alpine) is 11.3 miles long and requires at least 5 1/4 hours of hiking, not including stops. The Shore Trail (Fort Lee - Camp Alpine) is 12.5 miles long and requires at least 6 1/4 hours of hiking, not including stops. (It is the more strenuous of the two.)
