From ChatGPT: The Royal Gorge & Its Iconic Bridge
Carved by the Arkansas River over millions of years, the Royal Gorge in Colorado is often dubbed the “Grand Canyon of the Arkansas.” This dramatic canyon stretches over 1,200 feet deep and less than 50 feet wide at its narrowest point—making it both breathtaking and vertigo-inducing.
Spanning the chasm is the Royal Gorge Bridge, one of the world’s highest suspension bridges. Built in 1929 in just seven months, the bridge hangs 956 feet above the river and stretches 1,260 feet across. Originally constructed as a tourist attraction rather than a transportation route, it has since become an iconic piece of American engineering and a must-see for thrill-seekers and photographers alike.
Fun Facts:
The bridge held the record for the highest suspension bridge in the world from 1929 to 2001.
The gondola visible nearby offers another dizzying view—crossing the gorge in just a few minutes at 1,200 feet above the river.
You can still hear the echoes of train whistles below, where the Royal Gorge Route Railroad winds through the base of the canyon.
Scenes from several Westerns and adventure films were shot in the Gorge, including The Lone Ranger (2013).
