Royal Gorge Bridge

The Royal Gorge Bridge used to be the highest bridge in the world until the early 1990s. The bridge deck hangs 955 feet (291 m) above the Arkansas River (not at all copied from Wikipedia).

Those brave enough (and with too much cash laying around) can take this skycoaster which propels them way over the edge

... or you can take this zipline instead

You mean that I brought my 1000'/300m long fishing pole all the way here for nothing? Oh bugger.

If you want to get down you can take the incline railway
