Day 4, Part One: Royal Gorge Bridge and Other Sights
Along
the way from Wichita to Boulder, I passed some interesting sights and stopped
at the Royal Gorge Bridge, the highest suspension bridge in the world. I didn't
know it would cost $14 to get on the bridge until I got there, but I decided
to splurge. I'm glad I did. For someone like me who is fairly afraid of heights,
the bridge was an absolute terror (in a good way). Looking down between the
wooden boards to the river over 1,000 feet below while the bridge is bouncing
up and down is quite a sensation. Watching the helicopter swoop down into the
gorge was quite a shock.
