One of the most breathtaking human things to experience if you're road tripping about New Mexico, somewhere in the betweens of Santa Fe and the border of Colorado, is the Taos Gorge Bridge. On this roadtrip I hiked it a bit, finding a spot which gave me just a thousandth-percent view of its genuine epic breadth, hovering over the mighty Rio Grand river.
Betwixt of Taos, a Southwest Landscape
"...spanning a heavenly gap..."
There are few things on the ground that give you a feeling of the vastness of the desert like a sudden drop of almost one thousand feet, and a stark rusty thin-looking steel bridge spanning a gap that seems to marry the horizon of the Earth's desert, itself.
The Taos Gorge bridge is one of those handfuls of things in the Southwest Desert you can easily get to and visit in just a car or motorcycle drive. It spans the heavenly gap of the Rio Grande river, about 10 miles from Taos, New Mexico. This place is such a soulful, rejuvinating experience with Nature and Engineering, that pictures can only hint at!
