Thank you for a beautiful look at a part of our country that I have never visited. I love your documentaries and how you give us a glimpse of not just the scenery but of the people.

[@TRACKSTravelDocs]

Thank you for watching, we're so glad you enjoy!

Make sure to vote for RFKJr as president for protecting the Hudson River

[@BikeVermont71]

A moving tribute to Americans and British alike who have a love of nature even where cities go up.

I ran trains up the Hudson for 30 years as did my father and grandfather. Peekskill to beacon was the most beautiful section especially with snow in the highlands

[@yankees29]

When ever we drive to my dad’s upstate house we use the Newburgh Beacon bridge. The scenery is incredible.

We grew up blocks away from the George Washington bridge, my very favorite bridge in all the world ❤ I feel lucky to have grown up there, I remember being small and playing by the little red lighthouse, then being a teenager and having adventures along the path down to the river, trying to imagine huge ships shooting cannons during the Revolution was always mind blowing..hanging out on the train tracks (the trains weren’t running in those days) picnics, camping, learning to drive! (b4 cars were banned from entering the area) And the Raves…imagine its late summer, midnight on a full moon, next to the staircase on top of the restroom area, the dj and his guys got electricity from the street lamps, hung pretty blue string lights and played house music with drums n the bass from the speakers, one of the best memories of my life 😊 At a different time my first love and I, under the bridge, him chasing me on the grass, wearing a sarong skirt, somehow it was unwrapped from me and laid on the grass, no one around but us he convinces me to relax, my 1st time outdoors ❤ The Hudson River is in so many pictures of ours, the bridge as well especially when they hang the great huge American flag, we have gotten wet in the river too! It really is clean I swear! Going on boat rides, riding bikes on the New Jersey side, rollerblading the GWB just so many memories..no one loves the Hudson River more than Me!!! Thank you for this amazing video ❤

[@Dan-departingin5mins]

Wonderful documentary. I love visiting the Hudson region. I go as often as I can, but I still learned a lot in this video.

[@andycrawford2003]

Since 1873 conventional wisdom and historical tradition say that Lake Tear of the Clouds, nestled between Mounts Marcy and Skylight in the Adirondack High Peaks, is the source of the Hudson River. Lake Tear sets at over 4300’ feet in elevation making this also the highest permanent water body in New York State; this is the highest source of the Hudson River. Facts matter! I live on the Hudson River in Rensselaer, historically known as Bath-on-the-Hudson!

[@justasimpleguy7211]

I've been to Lake Tear of the Clouds. It was a still and overcast day and when I got there a gentle rain began to fall. It was surreal. Magical. The day before was a mostly clear day with puffy clouds and I stood atop Algonquin, watching the clouds cast shadows across the rugged landscape and I thought this will be hard to top, until Lake Tear of the Clouds. The solitude, quiet and fragrance of conifers along with the symbolism of clouds releasing their tears into the lake was out of this world.

[@georgekibblin9924]

As a lifelong resident of the Hudson Valley, I really enjoyed watching this documentary. It makes me realize how fortunate we are to have such a beautiful place to live.

[@KenDrPH]

Just brilliant! Thanks for this wonderful presentation of the Hudson documentary and the Hudson Valley…there was so much learned in a short time and with Bill Nighy was an added bonus 🙏🏼💙🌈

[@vavilovasvetlana9044]

I'm watching this video to get to know this unusual country better.

[@scottpardee6303]

Wow! I have driven by many segments of the Hudson River, stopped often for the views, and now live in Battery Park City, with a view from my windows. Thank you for screening!

[@adrastos761]

that was very enjoyable and most likely as a Native New Yorker myself, I'd never get to go to the beginning of the Hudson river so this made it possible.

[@flourishwithzel]

I was just studying the NYC map for work, and just saw Hudson River which I learned is a veeery long river. I can't believe I'm watching this. Now I wanna see the Hudson River.

[@georgestreicher252]

Ossining's original name was Sing Sing also the name of the local prison. It was changed to give the town a better image. The term going up the river once meant that you would become a guest at the local prison. The Bear Mountain bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the US at the time of its completion. Shortly after the George Washington Bridge became the largest suspension bridge in the US. That distinction passed to the Golden Gate Bridge, but New York won it back with the completion of the Verrazzano's Narrows Bridge.

[@ndungukariuki380]

The videography and narration is top-notch.Good work TRACKS.

[@alicassidy8913]

I was born and raised in Bayonne, NJ. The Hudson separates my home town from the island of NYC where the river flows into the Atlantic.. A lot of history history there... The Revolutionary war for one.

[@onigusprime430]

Such a wonderful place..

[@sciwiz57]

How could you possibly leave out the Tappan Zee bridge ????????

[@buickinvicta288]

Right? And all the river towns. I grew up with a view of the Palisades.

[@robertewalt7789]

The new Tappan Zee Bridge is beautiful, especially at night.

[@Michael-v3z1s]

Wish I could afford to live in that area with the look. But things don't always go to plan.

[@rayisland23]

Wonderful video, Thank you

[@telcantor2069]

Well done. I enjoyed that very much.

[@kfffisher]

Superb! Thank You!

[@Michael-v3z1s]

The little Red light house just under the GWB.

[@milliebanks7209]

You did not mention how you got around these dams! That takes out a lot of the information! The journey is beautiful but hey, give me all of it.

[@MauroMeneguzzi]

Brasil aqui 🆗️🇧🇷👍😁

[@Mikell-h2c]

Did you mention the Eire cancel we’re it meets the Hudson ?

[@donaldclifford5763]

Also Tappan Zee Bridge. Can't miss it.

[@jdwht2455]

Could have been a great documentary but many missed opportunities to show that info with too much time spent rafting, sailboats, fishing, tugboats and a B&B light house. Particularly missed were those two Revolutionary War Battles of Saratoga at Schuylerville/Bemis Heights and the starting point of the Erie Canal at Waterford. Lots more that could have been covered

[@CP-nl2zb]

😮

[@nkotbsouth]

❤

[@CP-nl2zb]

Lake Henderson, not Lake tear of the clouds? Isn't Tear of the clouds the true headwaters of the hudson?

[@justasimpleguy7211]

I guess it's debatable but I like to think of Lake Tear of the Clouds as its true source.

TOO MANY AD DISRUPTIONS. IT RUINED THE BEAUTIFUL VIDEO

[@DD-ih7wn]

No Native American First Nation People and their stories included?

[@Coleen_West]

Why should they be? They didn't create or own any of this anymore than you own Europe because your ancestors lived there.

[@ralphturner3798]

Note that the tug Chaser guy does not have a life preserver on

[@Life_Kyle]

Hunters have butchered most the animals

[@justasimpleguy7211]

No, they haven't. I live in the park and not even the heart of the park, about half a mile outside a small village. I see all sorts of wildlife all the time.

[@luminous3357]

➡️ The music is extremely intrusive😩

[@Metalmirq]

Uhhh…ok

[@borntothepurple]

BS. In one of their other documentaries, they claimed Ireland's Secret Gem the Shannon River is the world's most scenic river. Fake passion, wrong selection of words 😅

[@Metalmirq]

Cry about it then

[@justherb666]

The Hudson is in my ‘backyard’ and I’ve been traveling up and down it for almost 30 years. We camped on Schodack island when the campground was brand new. It has its own extensive history of ice harvesting. Ice from this part of the Hudson was sent on ships to Europe.

[@DoylesStickandcanes518]

Awesome I live on the Hudson River here in Troy Ny ❤

[@1HarryH]

Beautiful flight and capture. Nice presentation, thank you🕊🕊

[@joeyjamison5772]

Good show! I'm originally from Bergen County, New Jersey and was born and raised within just 5 miles of the Hudson River!

[@tebec3624]

Makes me love NY even more! I definitely have to try that white water rafting this year!!

[@HSetonNotes]

That freight sailboat crew seems like they are from Portlandia.

[@MultiLizc]

Hudson River is just magnificent

[@faisalmohamedy9213]

What a beautiful scenery and nature

[@edmatthews9235]

Really enjoyed this and thank you well done. Interesting info and really beautiful to see. Im glad I was born and live in the Hudson Valley.

You give us a beautiful picture of one of the United States most historic water ways. However you overlooked on of the most historic buildings that sits on the banks of the Hudson river and that is the home of Washington Irving, Sunnyside. He was America's first internationally famous author. one of the most famous guest to Sunnyside was Charles Dickens. I hope that if you produce an update to you production, that you will include Sunnyside.

[@justasimpleguy7211]

There's so much history along the river. It would take a mini-series to cover it all. ;-)

[@milliebanks7209]

An ad when I pay to skip them? I'm out!

[@Metalmirq]

👋🏻

[@BillySBC]

Tried to watch this video but the incredible amount of commercials made it un-watchable.

[@Metalmirq]

Did you cry?

[@BillySBC]

@@Metalmirq No I just clicked away from it.

[@Metalmirq]

@@BillySBC welcome back

[@josephbellantuono7055]

Imagine how clean the river was when the area was only inhabited by the Lenape Indians ❤

[@yankees29]

It’s a tidal estuary so it’s actually still very clean now. It recovered pretty quickly from the industrial days.

[@robertewalt7789]

Also Mahegans on the east shore, Iroquois up north.

[@Coleen_West]

It's cleaner now and there are more trees in the US than at any time in the past. Don't believe the fake Indian history nonsense. All per-industrial people had no industrial pollution, obviously. All natives act exactly like everyone else during post industrial times. They are nothing special. Get over it.
