I've been there twice and have attached some recent photos. It is very popular. A few Saturdays ago, it was 30F and windy, but we found about 200 people on the bridge at 4pm. We walked over and back, getting a friendly warning from a park ranger that the bridge would close when it got dark. It's well worth the trip.

Entrance at Highland, NY

Mid-Hudson Bridge, south of Walkway

North on the Hudson, River Line on the left

Eastward along the south side of Walkway; there are two 'bumpouts' on either side that make this view possible without leaning over the railing.

Amtrak 291 leaves Poughkeepsie for Vermont, engine 701 and five Amfleet.
