This picture taken of the Royal Gorge Bridge from the Canyon floor compliments of the Inclined Railway. The Bridge, built in 1929 taking only 6 months to complete, is the World's highest suspension bridge at 1053 feet. The bridge is 1260 feet long and 18 feet in width. The surface of the bridge is wooden planks of which there are 1292. A total of 250 on average are replaced annually. The strange part of this bridge is the allowance of automobiles to cross the bridge. I could feel the bridge swaying when this occurred. This even made me want to find land quickly.
Ummm, I think I'll take a pass on this and sit this one out, thank you!
