There are a few lookouts in Palisades Park that are beautiful and definitely give you the feeling of being very high up! There’s the Alpine Lookout which is right next to a parking lot and has benches available too. That might not sound pretty but the view is amazing. There are also trails going in both directions from the lookout if you’re interested. A bit further up there is the State Line Lookout which also has a road leading to it and a parking lot. You can walk along the paved section near there as well and it’s gorgeous. The women’s federation monument also has a great view, but requires a bit more walk to get to (less than 1 mile for sure) and I would strongly advise not going past it. Both trails after the monument are very tough with lots of stairs. Check a map of the park because there might be a few I missed!

I did tbis last weekend. If you're doing that, I recommend taking the drive on Henry Hudson side first to go to fort lee fas your starting point and then make your way to the observstion decks. You can get some good views if the GW by car.

Fort Lee Historic Park, Palisades Interstate Park Commission is what you can look up on Google maps.
