From last Sunday, October 11, 2009. I though for sure that there would be a good amount of color along the Husdon River, however, likely due to the micro climate induced by the warmer river water, the trees were mostly green. Around the Casa De Catskill, everything is bright orange or yellow.
Anyway, here are a few pictures from our walk:

We all have our eyes closed

Looking south about mid river at the Mid Hudson bridge
We went out to the half way point and turned around because Eliza was tired and hungry, at one point laying down and insisting that she could not continue one step further until she has something to eat. The poor dear.
I am very glad we got there a little early, as when we were leaving there was a traffic jam of people looking for parking spots.
This Saturday, October 17th, the bridge/state park is being named a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, which is quite the thing. The leaves along the Hudson should be peaking soon, so if you are planning the trip, better make it soon.

Good pictures, Paul. Having grown up in Poughkeepsie, I am anxious to take a walk on the Walkway myself.
Great pictures! If I am ever out that way, I definitely want to check out the bridge :)
I really like the fall colors, one of my favorite times of year. I live in the NC mountains and the colors were really nice here too, just didn’t have too many nice days to get pics….
