Phenomenal view....not for those afraid of extreme heights!
Sat with old friends and new friends watching the eclipse. It was terrific!
The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge is worth the trip from Santa Fe. Hike along the rim and the views are spectacular. Mountains, plateaus and an amazing canyon. Wow! Caution: don't take the "high road" there, too long for too little to see.
Went early to see the hot air balloons that fly over the gorge. Unfortunatly, it was foggy and drizzling rain, so they didn't fly. They are working on the bridge now, but still enjoyed the views and took some great pictures.
A great view of the Rio Grande and the Gorge. The river looked really small untill you realize you are 650 ft above the bottom. The new lookout platforms on the bridge made my knee's tingle.
The Rio Grande Goge is magnificent and breathtaking and the bridge is impressive. We walked to the overlooking platforms on the middle of the Bridge to experience the height and beauty of the Gorge. The strong wind that day really enhanced our experience of height.
We go over the Gorge Bridge almost daily when living there in the summer. It's wonderful, but covered with tourists who walk out in front of the cars, etc. Right now they're doing construction on the bridge, and people are walking through the construction areas that are taped off, etc. It's a little frustrating. Still worth seeing.
Most fantastic view of the Rio Grande Gorge. Pedestrian sidewalk on the bridge with several viewing balconies to view the gorge and take pictures
I watched the annuals eclipse from the bridge and had expansive views in all directions. The dramatic gorge is cut into the flat sagebrush landscape. You can park on either side of the bridge. It would be a great spot for sunsets.
A Taos institution! A quick drive from town and IMPRESSIVE. Great short hiking or biking from the visitor center. And as long as you're here, drive a bit further out away from town and see the Earthship community. Two unique experiences!
