Places»Utah and Colorado»Colorado and Royal Gorge

Until recently, the suspension bridge over Colorado's spectacularly beautiful Royal Gorge was the highest in the world, at 955 feet above the Arkansas River.

The bridge has a plank road that is a bit scary to drive over, but worth the butterflies! The car in one image here provides a sense of the bridge's scale.

Other images here show some of Colorado's "fourteeners" (peaks over 14,000 feet), the headwaters of the Colorado River, and the Arkansas River valley.
