Additional Details:

The Grand Canon of the Arkansas, Colorado, is nearly ten miles long, extending from near Canon City to Parkdale. About midway is the Royal Gorge, the deepest and narrowest part of the canon. At this point, where the walls are only 30 feet apart, the constructing engineers were obliged to build a bridge parallel with the river to provide space for the roadbed. All day-light trains through the Royal Gorge now stop ten minutes at the Hanging Bridge.
