I will tell you what... by Markus Biewer from the GigaPan Royal Gorge Bridge Pano 03 by Markus Biewer

this area is nothing for people terrified of heights. The bridge is unsteady and luffing and on the walkway you can look through the wooden planks about 330 Meters deep. At the moment I was there two huge trucks where there with me and I could feel the bridge waggling... I made it across just once.....
