Rising 305 meters above the Arkansas River, the Royal Gorge Bridge is America’s highest suspension span. Completed in 1929, its wooden deck and steel cables challenge visitors with vertigo-inducing views through the planks.

Today the surrounding park adds gondolas, zip lines, and a visitor center, while post-fire renovations in 2013 ensured the bridge’s continued strength and allure.
