The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge in Taos, NM, stands at 650 feet above the river, making it the second highest bridge on the U.S. Highway System and the fifth highest in the country.

This iconic bridge has garnered recognition for its beauty, winning the Most Beautiful Steel Bridge award from the American Institute of Steel Construction. Featured in various Hollywood films, including Paul and Terminator Salvation, the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge continues to captivate tourists who come to marvel at its breathtaking architecture and dramatic surroundings.
