The High Line (New York)

The High Line is a 1.5 mile elevated walk on the west side of Manhattan along the Hudson River. It's designated as a New York State Park as well. The High Line is different from most state parks, however, in that it's purely urban. Composed of old train tracks, an elevated boardwalk, and a view of the Hudson River, it's a unique place to visit, particularly at sunset. All the years I lived in New York City, I never visited this place until recently. It's a fun place to walk if you're looking to do something on a lazy afternoon in Manhattan. The best time to visit is around sunset to sundown, but of course it's more crowded then. Here are some photos of the High Line at these hours.
