It is indeed a wonder...the original "bridge to nowhere"...I did visit Canon City some time ago, we tend to see what we expect to see, and I was confused for some hours about why the US had a Royal George bridge!
BTW...some trivia....the Royal Gorge Bridge is one of only three privately owned toll bridges in the USA. The other two are the Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, and the Dingman's Ferry Bridge across the Delaware between PA and NJ....
