We are staying about 5 miles from here. Highly recommend a visit! Great place for a picnic or quick stop. Walking out on the bridge had some pucker factor. One pic has 3 rafts. That would be fun.

I have rafter under that bridge. It is called "the box", it is a pretty gnarly run and with high water should be a blast.

You can actually drive down and back up the gorge on a dirt road. Long way down and back up. It's a neat drive.

It's freaky walking across that bridge in looking down through the cracks between the boards.

I just saw it this past winter. I didn't know it existed till I rounded a turn through the mountains. I thought it was amazing and very cool to see. We didn't make it to the bridge though.

Its amazing how flat it is out there, then all of a sudden just a huge ravine. If you are still there, run up and check out the John Dunn Bridge. Its not far from there and you can get to the river from there. We fish that little spot quite a bit.

Went there many years ago while on a ski trip at Taos. Definite pucker factor walking across it as it move a lot. Was imagining early settlers traveling West and coming to gorge and saying "well chit".
