Walk Across The Bear Mountain Bridge For A Gorgeous View Of New York’s Fall Colors
According to the latest official Fall Foliage Report for New York, our gorgeous autumn colors are rapidly sneaking up on us here in our state. While you can find a variety of ways to get out and enjoy leaf-peeping opportunities in the Empire State, there’s nothing quite like the adventure that we have in store for you today. Taking you down into our breathtaking Hudson Valley region, see why it’s worth walking across this one bridge to surround yourself with New York’s fall colors.
Stretching across the Hudson River, feast your eyes on the fall colors that surround New York's Bear Mountain Bridge.
Formally known as the Purple Heart Veterans Memorial Bridge, the Bear Mountain Bridge has been wowing residents and out-of-towners alike for quite some time now.
Since opening up nearly 100-years ago, the bridge has become not only a popular route to travel along, but also a favorite place for people to go for a stroll!
That's right! If you want to soak in the sights from Bear Mountain Bridge, there's no better way to experience this historic structure than to walk across it.
Some may come to walk across the bridge after exploring nearby attractions like Bear Mountain State Park, while others will end up crossing it due to the fact that it carries the Appalachian Trail across the Hudson River.
Spanning across 2,255-feet, as you find yourself standing above one of the narrowest points of the Hudson River, you'll be amazed by all of the vibrant fall colors that surround you.
From the views of the trains passing by along the riverfront to every other inch of the Hudson Valley that you can take in from here, there's nothing quite like walking across this historic bridge.
Your new favorite pedestrian walkway and once the world record holder for the longest suspension bridge, see what it's like to view New York's fall foliage reflecting off of the river and sweeping across our mountains as you stand out on the Bear Mountain Bridge this year.
