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.
