    The bridge is way up there, the view is beautiful. I am like you, I wouldn't go on the rides either. I bet rock climbers love it. Have a wonderful day. ❤❤😊

    There is a great scenic train ride that goes through the canyon below. "The Royal Gorge Route" train. Lots of amazing sights. Enjoy

      We took the little incline down into the gorge last time we were out there, and the train was coming through at that time. When it blew its horn, that sound was so loud, being down in the gorge like that. We were standing on the outside of it.
      That incline was destroyed in the fires several years back, we found out.

    I pondered on the idea of the highest suspension bridge in the world being built in 1929. It scares me half to death NOW, much less back then with lesser safety features. I’ve said before, Iron Workers are a unique and special breed. Thankfully, I did not have to make my living that way. Safe travels, D & S! 💕🛣️🚘

      Yes, that crossed my mind, as well. The thing is, you once could drive across it, so it was apparently built very well. There was a fire there a few years back, and that was also in my mind when walking across it. But since it was years ago, and thousands of people have walked on it since then and before we got there last week, we figured it would be okay.
      It is very scenic.

    Derrick and Shawnasi thank you for taking me across this bridge. There is NO WAY that I would be able to do that. You remember what I told you about my experience on tbe mile high swinging bridge on Grandfather Mountain. That view is amazing. You can see how the flood carved out that out and created that beauty.

    • @NCMemoryMakers
      @NCMemoryMakers  Před měsícem

      Glad you enjoyed it! This one doesn't swing nearly as bad as the one on Grandfather. But this one is also a lot higher up...over 1,000 foot drop.
      Thanks for watching! Hope you all are doing well!

      Yes, Royal Gorge is very high above the canyon floor. It swings as well, but not as much as Grandfather's bridge does.
