Here's a side view of the whole thing. It's a really lovely bridge, and it has pedestrian walkways on both sides.
Just in case you don't know the story behind this, the previous historic bridge was built in 1929. You can see it at We Hiked. But in 2009 it was inspected and immediately closed. They blew it up! Then they built this new bridge. "We" were afraid it was going to be some ugly, utilitarian thing, but instead we got this beauty, and its designed for walkers as well as vehicles.
I sort of fudged when I said New York was complete a few days ago. Technically, the line is in the middle of the bridge, not at this sign.
Now it's official- I finished New York and entered Vermont
Just because I finally got a picture of one, I've been seeing hares, and I'll show you. These are not really rabbits. They are bigger and just look different. This one wasn't too big- s/he might have been young.
Mostly what I loved about today is the views of the mountains. I just couldn't stop taking pictures of them, even though I can't identify what I'm seeing. When you look back to the west, you see the Adirondacks.
When you look east, you see the Green Mountains. In two days, I'll be up on top of those!
This valley between the two ranges of mountains is actually part of The Great Valley which extends all the way from Quebec to Alabama!
Miles today: 15.7. Crown Point Bridge to Bittersweet Falls Rd. Total miles so far: 2397.2.
