A new trip has been announced by the Trips Committee.
On Wednesday, September 22, participants will travel to the Walkway Over the Hudson, Highland to Poughkeepsie.
Why take a ferry or the Mid-Hudson Bridge when you can walk a one-way distance of 1.28 miles at your own pace 212 feet above the river, and the van will pick you up on the Poughkeepsie side?
This trip is for those who have the stamina to walk it and want the pleasure of communing with the bridge, the water, the sky and the scenery with a 360-degree view.
A typical crossing includes adults of all ages, children, baby carriages, bicycles and dogs. The ADA-compliant walkway and 21-story glass elevator to the waterfront are shut down during thunder, lightning and high winds. Sign up in the Trips Book.
