    Beautiful area man, thanks for sharing. That bridge going over the gorge is incredible. Have always had a fascination with bridges since my youth. Not really sure why.

    Thank you. On Bridge Day, October, they closed the bridge down and let people BASE jump off of it.

    Recently received National Park status. I think I am going to check this area out this Fall. Some interesting features.
