Rio Grande Gorge Bridge

Choose two or more items and save on your trip:

America’s 4th longest river, the Rio Grande, sits at the bottom of this 800-foot deep gorge, part of the Taos Plateau volcanic field in New Mexico. The magnificent view of this National Monument and the rift valley created some twenty-nine million years ago is courtesy of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. Allow 20-30 minutes to check out the magnificent views as well as the state park adjacent to the bridge and gorge. There are no bridge tolls and no fees to enter the state park. It was all amazing.

Just outside of Taos, New Mexico sits the Rio Grande Gorge. The bridge stands a staggering 656' above a seemingly small ribbon of water below. Walkways on either side provide incredible views up and down the gorge. #ADVENTURE
Bluebird day looking toward Taos, NM - big skies, big heart.
New Mexico certainly has a lot to offer when it comes to scenic wonders, among the best this stunning man-made wonder, the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. This National Historic Landmark, part of east-west US Route 64, is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the Taos area. Parking is available on the west side of the gorge. Be sure to walk out to the cantilevered platforms on either side of the bridge (if heights are not an issue) for the best views. The adjacent state park also offers some great views of the bridge itself. No fees are associated with the bridge or state park.
