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

Isn’t the Walkway Over the Hudson the most incredible thing. I wish we lived closer, I’d love to be there for sunset. Love your photos 🙂

I am afraid of heights but could not pass up walking across- it was amazing- the views breathtaking. Was so glad I did it.

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

There are always boats going up and down- sailboats, motor boats, large boats with tugs alongside.

It must be a deep river! Maybe it’s dredged here and there. I really miss boating Lisa, and am struggling with still wanting to move top Florida… But it’s so beautiful here.
