1. I also like the view, straight down, to the 'little' railroad tracks below.

The views from the Tappan Zee bridge are also very good.

3. Cuomo, you mean!!!

[empedocles]

4. Actually, I meant the NJ palisades and river views

[elleng]

7. Gotcha!

One of the viewing spots was closed to 'tourists' today, for repair, so didn't get the BEST views.

Got up around 80 today; heading north, so cooling a bit.

11. Can we look forward to

pictures of fall in New England? Oooh, sounds nice.

[elleng]

12. Mebbe. In Providence now, heading to Portsmouth and Portland later, and MAY return home to MD

via 'inland' route, where leaves tend to show off.

13. best time to drive Palisades Pkwy is in 5 weeks

Turning of the leaves - breathtaking

[elleng]

[fierywoman]

16. My parents got engaged there on the bluff, I think (ca. 1949.)

[elleng]

18. SWEET!!!

17. I worked in Hoboken for a few years

I miss the spectacular Hudson River views and the high quality pizza. I think the most scenic point on the Palisades Parkway is just north of the GW Bridge, across from the Harlem River, where you're looking across at both Manhattan & the Bronx. The ferries across the river from Edgewater & Hoboken are a fun way to get into the city and there are buses from the ferry terminals that drop you off all over Manhattan.

20. Right, and that scenic view was closed today for construction.

21. I love bear mountain

always went to visit once a year, normally our school trip. Miss that beauty.
Live in the mountains now, probably because I still love them.

22. Thing is, most of the beautiful view is in N.J., not N.Y.

From State Line Lookout, you can see Long Island.

23. If you go to the fort in Ft Tryon Pk Washington/Hudson Hghts...

...you get a beautiful view of NJ and it's Palisades which is an old balsalt lava flow that plunges down towards
the Hudson River.
Lots geology buffs go to see, as well.

It's also very relaxing to sit there because a whole group of trees are planted there, along with benches to look out upon the river.
(just there today)

24. That is also where The Met Cloisters Museum is located, which is a lovely place to spend an

afternoon. It houses The Met's medieval and Renaissance art collection and parts of the building itself were moved there from European monastaries, abbeys and their cloistered courtyards to re-create an authentic experience. It's really a lovely place to visit if you ever get the opportunity.

[electric_blue68]

29. Yeah, I've been there. 🙂

[PJMcK]

26. You can walk across the George Washington Bridge

There's a park in Ft. Lee, NJ just South of the bridge. I've walked there several times for picnics.The views from the bridge, both North and South of the Hudson River, are spectacular.

[electric_blue68]

30. Once I walked halfway across the GWB from the NYC side. Very beautiful...

even if you're being driven across the GWB by car, or in a bus - it's lovely. 💖

[PJMcK]

25. We drive the PIP often

It's the prettiest road for us to get to our house in the Catskills from NYC. (The bonus is that there isn't a toll from Manhattan to NJ!)

The views to the East, as we drive North, are beautiful and stunning and when you get to Harriman State Park, the forests are lovely.

Thanks for the photo, elleng!

27. My old stomping grounds!

Been a lot of years, but we used to walk our dog along the palisades. We were often the only ones there and it was just a little slice of heaven.

[elleng]

28. WOW!

Quite a place to walk a dog!

31. Born and raised just a few miles from there...

We used to hang out a lot around what we called the Women's Castle... The real name is the Women's Federation Monument... The history is very interesting:

A bit south of the Castle, maybe 3/4-1 mile... If you stay close to the cliffs you can find a very cool spot that has about a 2 foot jump onto a disc that sits out from the cliffs. You not only have an amazing view back in but someone carved what appears to be a little seat you can use to look out onto the NY skyline.

32. Neat, NY Joe!!!
