The Royal Gorge Bridge is the highest suspension bridge in America. The Royal Gorge Bridge currently holds the title of America's highest suspension bridge, and is the 7th highest bridge in the world. It was officially trademarked as “America's Bridge” in 2018 as an honor to American workers. This time of year it would be nice to drive the back way although a longer day.
