August 26, 2019 – Royal Gorge Bridge



The Royal Gorge Bridge located in the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park near Canon City, Co.

The bridge crosses the gorge 955 feet above the Arkansas River. The bridge held the “highest bridge in the world” until 2001. The bridge still remains the “highest bridge in the US”. Total length of the bridge is 1,260 feet, 18 feet with, and is 150 feet tall.

The entrance to the bridge is about 4 miles off the main highway. Locals assured us we would have no problem with our 40” RV towing a truck. Lets just say we sure were glad we didn’t pass a tour bus or another RV. We unhooked the truck to come back down.



 



The day we went it was very windy, and yes, the bridge does move in high winds. 

When you buy your ticket they suggest you ride over then walk downhill to the bridge. Excellent advice.
