# Rio Grande Gorge Bridge Tours and Activities

![America’s 4th longest river, the Rio Grande, sits at the bottom of this 800-foot deep gorge, part of the Taos Plateau volcanic field in New Mexico.   

The magnificent view of this National Monument and the rift valley created some twenty-nine million years ago is courtesy of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.   

Allow 20-30 minutes to check out the magnificent views as well as the state park adjacent to the bridge and gorge. There are no bridge tolls and no fees to enter the state park.  It was all amazing.

Very friendly staff. Rooms are cozy and clean. Shuttle service is provided which is very convenient. Many places are within walking distance so either way walking or shuttle it is easy to get around. Our trip was to short but will definitely be back. The hotel lobby is so comfortable and cozy with nice furniture and warm fires and calming music playing in the background. Very peaceful place to enjoy reading, visiting or just relaxing.
