The High Line

The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated linear park, greenway and rail trail created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west. Now it is a beautiful green space with art installations and beautiful views of the sky line— certainly worth checking out. There is no starting point to the High Line. You can enter the High Line from multiple access points, so the start of the High Line is wherever you choose to enter!  The northern end of the High Line is at West 34th Street & 12th Avenue. Its southern end is at Gansevoort St. & Washington St. near the Whitney Museum of American Art.
