On Sunday, July 24, 2011, Greg and I took a day trip in NY. We traveled to Poughkeepsie, NY, and enjoyed the Walkway Over The Hudson. I was not sure if I was going to be able to complete the walk. I am every scared of heights.
The Walkway Over the Hudson is the Longest elevated pedestrian Park in the World. The bridge is an old railroad bridge that has taken 35 years to become a walkway for Pedestrians. You actually walk over the Hudson River and you are 212 feet up in the air. The bridge was completed in October 2009. The walkway is 1.28 mile in length. On Fridays there is a farm market located on the bridge.
The view was totally unbelievable. Greg's railroad tracks are located on both sides of the river. It was beautiful, a little hot but was well worth the time. I did get a little sunburn. I have no pictures---camera was not charged. So not well planned.
If you are interested you can go to www.walkway.org. If you are ever in the area you should take the time to see.
I have the thing with heights too so I doubt I'd have the courage to even try the walk. :)
ReplyDeleteHope things are going well up in NY with your move and settling in. Happy Thursday.
I don't know how you did it! I couldn't! I remember being terrified of that crazy bridge at camp ondessank!
