We visited the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge on a VERY windy day. We were not brave enough to walk the bridge on that day. Just past the bridge there is a rest area where we parked and walked to a viewing area to get a glimpse of what Mother Nature has done! It is an awesome sight considering you are... More

I do not like heights so this was not my idea of fun, but it is crazy to think how they built that bridge. My family walked along the bridge and enjoyed it. I stayed on the sidelines looking at all of the vendors merchandise.

The bridge is about 7 miles outside of town. It is worth the drive and has great photo ops. There is ample parking across the bridge. There are also, several road side vendors set up.

We went here one evening, then back again the next morning to take photos at dusk and early in the day. There is a designated parking lot near the bridge, but I don't know why the planner(s) didn't include a walkway from the lot to the bridge. There are a couple of paths worn through the dirt and down the... More

So cool and impressive. The information on the geology of the canyon was good to know. There is plenty of room on the sidewalks to walk out on the bridge. The park on the west side had plenty of parking and restroom facilities.

We went across this fabulous bridge and stopped at the very nice viewing/rest area on the other side. Be advised, however, that you cannot take that famous photo of the bridge and Gorge without going past the fence and taking several kinds of risk. It is easily worth the five minute stop, plus the 10 minutes it takes you to... More

I took my son out to see the bridge during a recent stay in Taos. He just loved it. They give you a good amount of access to the bridge and to other areas where you can take some great photographs.

Drive north and then head west outside of Taos and revel in the beauty of the land. Park on the far side and you're in for a treat, especially at sunset when the colors in the canyon just blaze away. Look deep and the aqua river wides like a bright ribbon through the canyon. A must see while in Taos... More

Unbelievable experience. Not so if you are afraid of heights. The view is spectacular. A true wonder
