The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, also known as the "Gorge Bridge" or "High Bridge," is a stunning feat of engineering located near Taos, New Mexico, USA. Spanning the Rio Grande Gorge, it stands approximately 565 feet above the Rio Grande River, making it one of the highest bridges in the United States. Completed in 1965, the steel deck arch bridge stretches 1,280 feet in length and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It has become a popular spot for tourists, photographers, and adventure seekers, who often stop to take in the dramatic scenery and the majestic expanse of the canyon below.
