The Royal Gorge Bridge Can Pose an Imperial Challenge
Connecting two rocky mountain ridges over a deep gorge, Colorado’s Royal Gorge Bridge offers endless views of the spectacular and undulating landscape. Originally constructed in 1929, this antique suspension bridge covers 1260 feet over a rocky canyon and was initially made with no stabilizing wind cables. It wasn’t until 1982 that the bridge was renovated and secured with proper cabling. While it’s considerably a safer structure compared to its yesteryears, we’d still advise you to take caution while crossing over.
