THERE'S MAGIC ON THE WALKWAY AT NIGHT Friends of the Walkway welcome you to enjoy amazing Hudson Valley views after dark from 212 feet above the Hudson River at Walkway at Night. With the moon hanging high in the sky and Poughkeepsie and Highland twinkling in the distance, there is nothing like a twilight evening on the World's Longest Elevated Pedestrian Bridge.
