An easy stroll that provides some excellent views and an opportunity to collect some steps.
Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park的点评
点评:We were in Beacon/Newburgh for a family wedding and were looking for a day trip. The Walkway Over the Hudson was about 30-minutes away and the prospect of being able to hike across the Hudson and to have a view from above the middle of the river was appealing. It did not disappoint.
We arrived late afternoon and temperatures were about 29C/84F with overcast yet that was a relief from the 32C+/90F+ and blazing Sun of the previous 2 days. We parked near the Washington St. access and hiked out and back. It was still hot and we took our time and stopped to read the various plaques along the way. The pathway is broad and made from concrete sections that were made offsite and placed on the old bridge structure. It's definitely more than just an old trestle with the rails and railway ties removed. There is ample room for couples to pass going in both directions and still have room for bicycles going in both directions.
Round trip across and back took about an hour. We looked at the elevator but decided to forego taking the trip. We very much enjoyed the view from the center of the span and enjoyed our stroll.
翻译:我们去比肯/纽堡参加一个家庭婚礼,想安排一次一日游。哈德逊河步道(Walkway Over the Hudson)大约30分钟路程,能够徒步横跨哈德逊河,从河中央俯瞰美景,这想法很诱人。果然没有让我们失望。
我们下午晚些时候到达,气温大约29摄氏度/84华氏度,阴天,但这比前两天32摄氏度/90华氏度以上的高温和烈日要好得多。我们把车停在华盛顿街入口附近,徒步往返。天气仍然很热,我们慢慢走,停下来阅读沿途的各种牌匾。这条步道很宽阔,由在场外制作并安装在旧桥结构上的混凝土段构成。它绝对不仅仅是一座拆除了铁轨和枕木的旧高架桥。步道有足够的空间供情侣双向通行,也有足够的空间供自行车双向行驶。
往返大约需要一个小时。我们考虑过乘坐电梯,但最终决定放弃。我们非常享受在桥中心欣赏的景色,也享受了这次漫步。
