Walkway Over the Hudson

Ride Metro-North along the Hudson River and take a walk on the old Poughkeepsie railway bridge that has been converted to a pedestrian walkway. Beautiful views of the River and surrounding mountains in the Poughkeepsie - Highland area from 212 feet above the water. Moderately paced, the round trip walk from the Poughkeepsie Metro-North station is about 5 miles.
We will also do an optional 3-mile walk on the Hudson Valley Rail Trail. If you would rather wait in the rest area on the Highland side of the bridge, we will pick you up on our way back to the Poughkeepsie side.
After the walk we will go to Akari, a Japanese restaurant at the Poughkeepsie train station, for a late lunch.
Take the Metro North Hudson Line train from Grand Central to the Poughkeepsie station (last stop). We will meet in the station waiting room at 12:00 noon.
