Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, Taos, New Mexico

One of my favorite places to visit while living in Taos was the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.

**The span is 1,280 feet: two 300-foot-long approach spans with a 600-foot-long main center span.**

Built in 1965, the bridge, which is 650 feet high, is the second highest in the U.S. Highway System and the fifth highest bridge in the United States.

Experience the bridge on a windy day:

You may recognize the bridge from the many movies filmed there:

Terminator Salvation
Paul
Natural Born Killers
Wild Hogs
White Sands
She’s Having a Baby
Twins

If you visit with me on the road, be prepared to have your own personal tour guide.

**Brooke visiting from Sunset Beach, NC. You might recognize her from last year when we met up in Wichita, Kansas! She & her husband Phil have visited almost every National Park in the U.S.**

**Sandra & Laura, two of the three members of the talented** **Fun Fatale Trio**. **They were driving cross-country from North Carolina to California!**

My favorite reason to visit here is the magnificent sunsets! It doest get much better than this.

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day! View more posts
