I guess the bridge was interesting. We parked and had to pick our way through some pretty poor, desperate people attempting to sell their wares. It was sad. And there wasn't much of the Rio Grande to see.

I would put this up with the Lynn Canyon Bridge/Recreation Area in Vancouver, Canada on my best free places in North America. The views are amazing, as is the architecture of the bridge. I would highly recommend driving into the gorge and hiking some of the trails (we did Picaris and La Vista Verde). You can also spend some time... More

The Taos area is so varied in its landscape, you can find everything you would ever want in a beautiful setting. The bridge gives you a breath-taking view of the gorge and the road to the gorge from Taos center is also very interesting with its seemingly endless fields of sage under gorgeous skies of big clouds. Park and walk... More

it's beautiful- I've seen it many times during the summer season but had never seen it in April when there is still snow on the mountains- if you are a photographer like I am, you will really appreciate the contrast offered by the desert against the mountains (which also offer contrasts between the conifers and snow)- add in the mineral...

What a view~ a mini grand canyon. I love walking out onto the bridge but my husband is afraid of heights so he stayed in the car. It is an amazing view and worth the time to see it.

This bridge and the Rio Grande Gorge are a short trip out of Taos and should not be missed. There is a best rest area with shaded picnic tables, and, on weekends, there are local artists selling their art. If you want a short hike or a long hike, there is a trail along the west rim of the gorge... More

...if you don't like heights! The bridge is 650ft above the Rio Grande Gorge and it is certainly a vertigo inducing experience. We did a balloon flight over the gorge and saw the bridge from the air too - that is obviously the more spectacular view but it's definitely worth a walk across as well.

I am a afraid of heights so only walked about a third of the way. Gorgeous view though. Friends went half way across and back and have some cool pictures.

On a beautiful April day, our group of six hiked on the path along the gorge. The slope is on a comfortable gradual grade, which makes it easier even for novice hikers to walk and enjoy the scenery. My imagination brought me to old western films in which a stage coach would fall off a precipice and into the Rio... More
