"New Mexico's Grand Canyon 10 miles north of Taos (you head out of town and turn left at the "blinking light"), the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, recently renovated in 2012, will give you a dizzying sense of vertigo and the opportunity to take pictures that will make you look like you majored in photography. 565 feet above the river, the span is over 600 feet long. In the distance, Wheeler Peak, the highest mountain in New Mexico , stands over 4,000 meters tall. But the numbers fade away in the brilliance of high desert air, so dry that you swear your vision just improved, and given the spiritual vibes in Taos, may well just have."

We spent about 20 minutes here just kind of walking over the bridge and taking pictures. Be careful watch for traffic and be mindful of the fence. There are picnic areas and bathrooms there they were closed at the time we were there. The shelters do have a windbreak. No cost.

Breath taking views, great walks, short hikes trails and best place for incredible photography. Bathrooms are clean near the free parking.

Love being able to walk across the bridge and see how far down it is (way down). I'm a little scared of heights and did fine going across and taking pics and selfies but there were some that turned back as soon as they got on the bridge :-) It's right next to a rest area which makes it easy to stop. If you like bridges (I do), it's definitely worth a trip, especially if you're going through Taos.

Nice view of the deep gorge. Easily accessible by walking after parking at the rest area adjacent to the bridge.

Beautiful and jaw-dropping. Looks like a painting! Markers to explain how this place came to be would make the experience better.

Not far outside Taos and worth a visit. Allow time to walk out on the bridge on the sidewalks. Hard to get a real sense of how amazing it is from the side. The east side in particular is fenced off and it’s hard to get a good picture. The west side is less fenced off but still doesn’t do it justice. If you stand at the middle of the bridge you can see and hear the rapids of the Rio Grande 600 feet below

This bridge is great and very serene views of the river. Go to the rest stop ahead on the same road and you will see the actual bridge as seen in the photos. That view is great too! We loved the view.
