July Photo A Day Challenge: July 8th: River

We live a short drive from the Hudson River, which divides New Jersey and New York.  It runs 315-miles (507 km) and flows from the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York, through the Hudson Valley of NY, and eventually drains into the Atlantic Ocean, between New York City and Jersey City. The river is named after Henry Hudson, an Englishman sailing for the Dutch East India Company, who explored it in 1609. We cross it via the George Washington Bridge to get into NYC…

or sometimes visit a park that overlooks it

Sometimes we sit alongside it in Nyack, NY

Here it runs through the Bear Mountain Bridge in the distance

We walked across on the the Walkway Over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie, NY….here is the view

and we have crossed it via the Rip Van Winkle Bridge farther North, here it is looking down at it.

No matter where we find it its beauty is always the same

  4. Great views! And so many bridges with unusual names too. I wonder how much of this river is navigable.
