1. Royal Gorge Bridge
Soaring 956 feet above the Arkansas River, the Royal Gorge Bridge is a stunning feat of engineering in Colorado. Built in 1929 in just six months, it remains the highest bridge in the United States.
The bridge stretches 1,260 feet and is made of nearly 1,300 wooden planks and over 4,000 steel cables. It offers breathtaking views and heart-pounding heights.
Despite damage from a wildfire in 2013, the bridge still stands strong. Today, it draws thrill-seekers and nature lovers to walk its span and enjoy the dramatic scenery.
