The Rio Grande Gorge Expansion Bridge


Just northwest of Taos NM is the Rio Grande Gorge, where the 2nd longest expansion bridge crosses over the river 650 feet below.  In addition to driving over the bridge there are sidewalks on either side, so it is possible to park and walk the length of the bridge in both directions.  The wind is powerful as is courses through the gorge.  The bridge vibrates as vehicles cross.  I loved it, of course.
