Description
The magnificent view of the Rio Grande Gorge and Valley from the center of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge at Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.
The 800 feet deep Rio Grande Gorge is located in northern New Mexico, not far from Taos. It begins near the Colorado border running about 50 miles through the basalt lava flows of the Taos Plateau volcanic field.
In 1968, the 196 miles long Rio Grande River was designated a National Wild and Scenic River. In addition, the Rio Grande Gorge and surrounding land were designated the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in 2013.
