Hanging 1,000 feet above the Arkansas River, the Royal Gorge Bridge is the highest suspension bridge in the U.S. and a defining icon of Colorado. Crossing feels like stepping into thin air, with the vast gorge yawning below and endless vistas sprawling around. A haven for adrenaline junkies and photographers, it offers a view that's as awe-inspiring as it is unnerving.
