Image Description
This suspension bridge is considered the world’s highest and crosses the Royal Gorge near Cañon City, Colorado. Suspended 956 feet over the Arkansas River, you can walk the 1,257 wooden planks across the bridge. This might make your palms sweaty with its height but reveals a bird’s eye view of breathtaking landscapes.
“The whorls and convolutions in the gorge walls—metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks, migmatites and gneisses thoroughly cooked at least twice—are all but undecipherable under any conditions and glazed under these.”—John McPhee, Annals of The Former World
