The Royal Gorge suspension bridge in Colorado, USA, was considered to be the highest bridge, until 2001, until a bridge in China overtook it. After the bridge that was built in just six months started operating, other structures like the Incline Railway, a miniature railroad, an aerial tram also added to the beauty of the place. It was renovated in the early years of 1980s with new cable anchors, suspension rods and paint. Later on, a Skycoaster was added to the list of attractions that this park boasts of.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, a wildfire broke out in 2013, which destroyed the aerial tram and most of the other buildings in the park. The bridge, though did not suffer much damage. The attractions that are present though, include a visitor centre with an observation deck, a water clock, Children’s Playground, and so much more. The highlight though still remains the highest suspension bridge in the whole of America and it is a thrilling experience to ride across on it; at such a high height, it is definitely not for the faint-hearted. The bridge opens at 7 am and closes during the dusk, all days of the year.<\/p>\n
