A Walk on the High Side in NYC


 
                Central Park has always been a beautiful place to walk in New York City, but now there is the amazing High Line trail, which has taken the rails-to-trails linear park concept to a new level.  It started out as an abandoned, overgrown railway line above Manhattan’s lower west side, and is now a popular, landscaped park filled with water features, benches, trees and magnificent views. The park, which is 30 feet high and 1.5 miles long,  features 11 entry points, many of which are handicapped accessible. 
 

Street views and water views abound


Native plants and mature trees fill the walkway


The walkway is a very popular site
