In Poughkeepsie . . .
The Walkway Over the Hudson, providing spectacular views, is a pedestrian bridge spanning 1.28 miles and standing 212 feet above the river. This steel cantilever truss bridge, originally a railroad bridge, opened in 1889, connected Poughkeepsie (east bank) and Highland (west bank). On June 21, intrepid Kendal walkers started on the west side of the bridge at the Welcome Center in Ulster. Historic markers and signs along the way described the landmarks they saw as part of the views over the Hudson.
