Just north and west of Taos is one of the loftiest highway bridges in the nation. The three span, continuous-thruss bridge crosses Rio Grande Gorge some 650 feet above the river.
It is amazing-you drive several miles and all you see is the huge Rio Grande Valley. Flat as far as the eye can see. Then suddenly the bridge and the gorge cut a swath down through the valley.
Bill is standing in the middle of the bridge on an observation deck. You can see the Rio Grande River far, far below.
The view is quite breathtaking. I could walk out on the bridge but couldn't look down until I stopped walking! And everything surrounding the gorge for miles and miles is absolutely flat.
