On September 11, we invite you to join us at Tallulah Gorge State Park for a special memorial climb honoring the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and remembering the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who answered the call.

As we climb each step, we remember the 343 FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice, along with the thousands of others who lost their lives that day.

This isn't just a climb. It's a chance to pause, reflect, remember, and honor.

Join us as we take the steps together—one step, one name, one memory at a time.

Tallulah Gorge State

Starting at 7:30 am until 11:00 am

Come be part of this meaningful tribute and help us Never Forget.
