What) Do you
enjoy peering over railings? Do you like to feel gusts of
unobstructed wind shoving you toward doom’s abyss? Then you’ll
love the new World’s Highest and Longest Pedestrian Bridge.
Officially titled Walkway Over the Hudson, it’s a smooth
concrete sidewalk laid atop a rusty, 120-year-old railroad
trestle. It’s 1.25 miles long, and most of that length is
spent 212 feet above the Hudson River. Walkers and runners are
welcome, bicyclists and roller-bladers as well but skateboards
are banned. But who needs wheels, anyway? Just strolling
across the Hudson River gorge during a howling snowstorm
should be excellent exercise, as well as an exercise in
terror. (1)
Where) 87 Haviland Road Open daily from 7am - sunset
Why) As I
was reading that description above, I found myself answering
yes to all of those questions. I didn't really think
that Pam would want to take this walk but I turned out to be
wrong about that. Perhaps it had something to do with the
great views of the Hudson River.
